Sky News switching morning, afternoon anchors

Sky News has announced an anchor swap that affects its morning and afternoon schedule.

• Beginning Oct. 14, 2019, Kay Burley, who currently anchors from 2 to 5 p.m., will become the anchor of the network’s morning show.
• The show will drop its “Sunrise” name in favor of “Kay Burley@Breakfast.”
• The new show will fill the same 7 to 9 a.m. timeslot as “Sunrise.”
• Burley will anchor from Sky’s Westminster studios Monday to Thursday.
• On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the show will broadcast from the network’s Osterly studios and be anchored by Stephen Dixon and Gillian Joseph in a move that’s designed to give a more relaxed feel for the weekend.
• On those days, the show will be known as simply “@Breakfast.”
• The formatting of the show’s name using the “@” symbol has already proven problematic — the network doesn’t appear to control the Twitter username “@breakfast” so typing the name in tweets results in it becoming a mention of an unrelated account.
• Current “Sunrise” anchor Sarah-Jane Mee, meanwhile, will take Burley’s spot in the afternoon.
• That slot, currently known as “The Kay Burley Show” will be renamed, quite appropriately, “The Sarah-Jane Mee Show.”
