Naga Munchetty Joins 5 Live Breakfast | Sheffield News

Naga Munchetty is set to make a major career leap, leaving BBC Breakfast after 17 years to host the new 5 Live Breakfast show starting January 2027. She’ll step into the role as current hosts Rachel Burden and Rick Edwards step aside—Burden moving to mid-morning, Edwards taking over Saturday’s Fighting Talk. Munchetty, who’s loved by millions for her sharp reporting and warmth, is thrilled by the move, calling it an “opportunity she couldn’t pass up.” She’ll keep her current shows until January, but is already buzzing to start the day with 5 Live listeners. Burden and Edwards, in turn, reflect on their time with listeners as family, marking a heartfelt transition as everyone prepares for fresh chapters.
