As the longest-running female presenter on the news program, Sally has worked on the show since 1987.
In an emotional announcement, she shared: “I fell into television 40 years ago and never thought I’d still be doing it today, but the time has come to hand over the reins to someone else who I hope will cherish the job as much as I have.
“Being the presenter of a daily 6.30pm BBC Regional Programme is one of the best jobs in television.“South Today has given me opportunities that would never have been possible anywhere else and I’m so grateful for that.“At the heart of everything we do is the relationship with our audience, I feel very honoured that they have shared and trusted me to tell their stories.
“It’s been wonderful.”
While working with the BBC Sally covered a range of stories across the south of the UK.
Of these included crucial updates on the Coronavirus pandemic.
Sally also worked at BBC Spotlight in Plymouth and presented BBC Radio Solent’s daily mid-morning show.
Peter Cook, senior head of content production for South, added: “Sally is a broadcasting legend.
“She’s had an incredible career at the BBC and earned the respect and affection of our viewers who have trusted her to tell them what’s happening and why.
“She’s a talented broadcaster, a brilliant journalist, and a great colleague.”
