I think he's more likely suggesting Dermot's agreed to dress up as Father Christmas next year, rather than he'll be taking over on Sunrise.

Possibly a bit too much reading into it, but I don't see why it's not a possibility. Eamonn's been doing Breakfast TV for just about 17 years, and he has to then continue onto This Morning every Friday and as holiday cover.

But wasn't the whole reason Dermot moved to Sky (other than money) that he didn't want to have to get up at ungodly hours for breakfast TV. Anyway I don't think the blog suggested Dermot would be doing Sunrise, just that he might be doing the trip to the call centre next Christmas!

I think Sky is stuck in another hole with Dermot. Theres no much they can do with him outside of his contracted hours. They don't have the felibility of other presenters which can cover and do different hours.

Although they both seem willing to do extra hours, as was the case for Sunrise over the Election and Dermot for the US Elections when he went to Chicago.

It's Adam Boulton's last ever edition of Sunday Live this morning, it seems.

Next Sunday it's replaced by NSW, but that's because it's Boxing Day. I presume we won't see the new Sunday Live until the second week of January.

Because of his new show, Boulton and Co, which will run mon-fri at 1pm. Replacing the afternoon live desk.

Adam confirmed on Sunrise that the new Sunday Live presenter will be Dermot Murnaghan.

Any word on who will be taking over Sky News Today then? I presume Dermot won't be doing that as well.

Why not? He only does Sky News Today 4 days a week so Sunday as well would be a normal 5 day work week by most peoples standards. And if he only wanted to do 4 day weeks then he could take Thursdays off (Could give Thursday Sky News Today to Colin Brazier to compensate him for loosing the lunchtime live desk)

Dermot is a good choice for Sunday Live BTW
