BBC Radio 4 presenter Emma Barnett is reportedly planning to leave the Today programme, according to multiple outlets. The reports describe her departure as a fresh blow for the flagship news show.
The timing comes after Amol Rajan has already exited the programme in recent weeks, making Barnett’s planned departure the second major change in a short period. The sources both frame the move as significant for Today’s presenter lineup, though neither provides detailed official confirmation, specific dates, or the full rationale in the excerpts provided.
While the outlets agree on the overall development—that Barnett is set to quit Today—coverage emphasizes different aspects: one highlights that it is the second major exit in weeks, while the other links the claim directly to the prior departure of Rajan and characterizes the situation as part of a broader presenter reshuffle.
