Naga Munchetty Career

Early life and career

Munchetty was born and grew up in Streatham, South London. Her mother is from Tamil Nadu, India, and her father is from Mauritius; they both migrated to Wales, where she studied dentistry and her father's education has prepared her to be a nurse. They married in London, but not before they had done it, so they didn't tell their parents until they had done it. Mimi is her younger sister. Graveney School in Tooting provided her with her early education. She studied English Literature and Language at the University of Leeds, graduating in 1997. On the London Evening Standard's City Pages, she began working as a journalist. She spent her time with The Observer's Business Section.

Career

Munchetty's television work began as a reporter for Reuters Financial Television, as a senior producer for CNBC Europe, a business reporter and reporter for Channel 4 News, and a host on Bloomberg Television.

Munchetty joined Working Lunch after the show was revived in October 2008 and stayed with the program until it was cancelled in July 2010. Munchetty has hosted Radio 4's Money Box. She also covers the city for BBC News, gauging the reaction to breaking financial news including Budget and the Pre-Budget Report.

Munchetty has been on the BBC News Channel and BBC World News since August 2010. She is a regular presenter on BBC One's Breakfast. Munchetty was the host on the 10am to 1 p.m. Radio 5 program in January 2021 to Wednesdays, replacing Emma Barnett. Who migrated to Radio 4's Woman's Hour? Munchetty co-hosted The Spending Review – The South Today Debate on BBC One with Sally Taylor in September 2010.

On October 30, 2010, Munchetty also presented Paranormal Investigation: Live on Living to honor Hallowe'en. Munchetty narrated Fear and Faith in Paris, focusing on anti-Semitic attacks in Paris and their effect on the French Jewish population. She was named winner of Celebrity Mastermind, a television show that was broadcast on January 2nd, 2013. Sian Williams was promoted as the host of Sunday Morning Live on BBC One in June 2016. Emma Barnett and Sean Fletcher were both recalled in 2017 after she was on the lamout for several years. Munchetty appeared on Newsnight on August 26, 2016.

She was paired with Pasha Kovalev and was disqualified in week four (Sunday 16 October 2016). With Sean Fletcher, she co-presented Britain's Classroom Heroes in October 2017.

Munchetty appeared on CBBC sketch show Class Dismissed in 2017, playing a fictionalized version of herself as a Media Studies instructor who appears as a newsreader.

Munchetty was found to have broken the BBC's rules by criticizing US President Donald Trump for apparent bigotry in September 2019. Munchetty said in July that when hosting BBC Breakfast with Dan Walker, he disagreed with Trump's remarks encouraging his followers to "go back" to the "places from which they came." "I have been told, as a person of color, to return to where I came from every time." Munchetty said. Now, I'm not accusing anyone of anything here, but you do know what those words mean."

The BBC was chastised for its decision to ignore protests regarding Munchetty's remarks. Several public figures, including Lenny Henry and Adrian Lester, wrote an open letter urging the corporation to reconsider its decision against her.

The allegation was also lodged against her co-host Dan Walker, according to The Guardian on September 30, 2019, but his remarks were not the subject of the BBC's executive complaints unit (ECU) probe. After looking at it more closely, BBC Director-General Tony Hall reversed the decision later that day.

The energy giants are reaping £420 billion dollars, while millions are struggling with the cost-of-living crisis: According to recent estimates, 20 businesses have made significant sums since 2020, although hard-up households are dealing with rising bills

New estimates show that utility companies have raised prices since 2020, as rising inflation, as well as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, have contributed to hikes. British Gas, Shell, and BP are among the British-based companies that have been making the most money, though campaigners claim that many hard-pressed families are struggling to afford to keep the heat on. According to the End Fuel Poverty Alliance, Shell has earned £38.4 billion in global earnings since 2020, BP £38.4 billion, and British Gas's owner Centrica £7.4 billion. Equinor, the Norwegian state-owned energy company that produces more than a quarter of Britain's electricity, has earned £117.4 billion in those four years around the world.

Hot news! Naga Munchetty, the BBC's host, allows a saucy mystery to slip as she announces she drenches 'everything' she eats... with Tabasco

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 31, 2024
I'm not sure if it's stealing, but a few restaurants have the little mini Tabascos on sale; I do try them. During a recording for a new episode of the radio show Room 101, she said, 'It's feeling really good when I have a couple of them in my bag.' Ms Munchetty, a keen golfer, told the BBC audience: "If you're forced to stop [golfing] halfway and you're really sick, there's usually soup.' I will have a sip and go.' 'I need the Tabasco,' yeah.' She said she made the sauce on 'fried eggs, chips, and everything else.'
