Sally Taylor started on South Today two years before Sky News started.
Kirsty Wark started on BBC Breakfast Time in 1988.
Sally Magnussen started on BBC Breakfast Time in 1985 before going back to BBC Scotland in 1997.
Kay Burley may have been a presenter on a news channel longer than anybody else (not difficult since Sky had a 10 year head start on the BBC) but… she’s not “tv’s longest serving news presenter”.
Honestly. A quick search on Google would have told you this.
Have all of them had a regular weekday slot, without any breaks, since the day they started? That was my point, and I assume this is the case with Burley. She's been on, non stop! I could be totally wrong of course, but that's my impression when they use that ''longest-serving presenter'' line for her.
