Mishal Husain Departs BBC's 'Today' After 11 Years for Bloomberg Role

Husain leaves behind a storied career at the BBC to launch a new interview series and serve as editor-at-large for Bloomberg's Weekend Edition.

Mishal Husain hosted her final episode of BBC Radio 4's 'Today' programme after 11 years as co-presenter, marking the end of an era for the show.
Husain is set to join Bloomberg in 2025, where she will host a weekend global interview series and take on the role of editor-at-large for its Weekend Edition.
BBC colleagues and industry figures have expressed disappointment over her departure, with some criticizing BBC management for failing to retain one of their most prominent broadcasters.
