Munchetty will take over the BBC Radio 5 Live breakfast slot five days a week after Rick Edwards and Rachel Burden step down.
- On Tuesday, Naga Munchetty announced her departure from BBC Breakfast after 17 years to co-present BBC Radio 5 Live's flagship morning programme starting in January 2027.
- Joining BBC Breakfast in 2009 as a finance reporter, Munchetty became a main host and presented the show Thursday through Saturday alongside Charlie Stayt for over a decade.

- McAndrew, Director of Live and Daily News, stated Munchetty will be "hugely missed" by viewers; the move follows Burden's earlier departure this month from the network.
