History and Broadcasts

From 21 April 2016, Sky News ended the show at 8 pm on Thursday to make room for the debate show The Pledge , which was axed in 2020, meaning Sky News Tonight regained this full slot.

From 26 September 2016, as part of a new schedule change, Dermot Murnaghan has presented Sky News Tonight from Monday to Thursday, with Sophy Ridge presenting on Fridays. [3] Murnaghan left Sky News in February 2023. [4]

The programme was formerly presented by Adam Boulton and Sarah Hewson. Various presenters have acted as relief when the main presenters are unavailable.
