Naga Munchetty Joins 5 Live Breakfast | Leeds News

Naga Munchetty is set to make a major career leap, leaving BBC Breakfast after 17 years to take the reins of Radio 5 Live’s breakfast show starting January 2027. The move comes as current hosts Rachel Burden and Rick Edwards step down, with Burden moving to mid-morning and Edwards taking over Saturday’s Fighting Talk. Munchetty, who’s thrilled by the opportunity, praised her time at BBC Breakfast and her growing bond with 5 Live listeners. She’ll present five days a week, with a co-host still to be found, while continuing her current TV and radio duties until January. With a wealth of big-event experience and a fresh start, she’s ready to greet listeners at dawn — and finally get some sleep.
