Kay Burley Retiring From Sky News After 36 Years

Kay Burley, one of the UK’s best-known news anchors, is retiring from Sky News after 36 years.

Burley’s decision follows Deadline revealing last year that the presenter was expected to leave the Sky News breakfast show amid speculation she was stepping down altogether.

Burley confirmed the news on today’s breakfast show, telling viewers that it would be her final broadcast on Sky News.

In an email to staff, David Rhodes, Sky News executive chairman, said: “We thank Kay for her huge contribution to Sky, to the art of the interview and to British journalism. And we wish her the best of luck.”
