Rob Burley

Rob Burley is a television producer, programme editor and writer with more than twenty-five years' experience at the top of British television. He started his career at ITV, becoming editor of the channel's political programme. He joined the BBC in 2008, working as deputy editor of Newsnight and editor of The Andrew Marr Show before taking charge of the political programmes department, and devising and launching Politics Live.

He left the BBC in 2021, assuming senior roles at LBC and then Sky News, where he plots interviews with political editor Beth Rigby. He lives in Hove with his partner, two sons and, annoyingly, Parkinson's disease.
