Sky News at Ten

History

The show was originally launched on 8 March 1999 following the axe of ITV's News at Ten . Originally, the show used its own special version of the Sky News graphics and a unique mix of the Sky News theme music, and was presented by Bob Friend and Anna Botting. [2] [3]

Over the years, the programme has been presented by many of Sky's presenters; since February 2007, Anna Botting has presented the broadcast on weeknights. It is currently followed at 10:30pm by the Press Preview, where the next morning's newspapers are discussed with two guests.

From late September 2016, the Friday to Sunday slot will be filled by Anna Jones, who previously filled in as Anna Botting's maternity cover and as a relief presenter. [4]

The show was rebranded in January 2017 with a new look focused around Big Ben. This change came as ITV News at Ten was pushed back to 10:30 pm temporarily to make way for The Nightly Show , a light entertainment programme.

In April 2021, Anna Jones moved to present The Daily Climate Show on weekday evenings [5] and in Summer 2021 Gillian Joseph became the main presenter of weekend editions. [6]

The show's presenter presents from 9:00 pm until midnight, presenting Sky News at 9, the Press Preview at 10:30 pm and 11:30 pm and the News & Press Preview at 11:00 pm. At weekends, the presenter also presents the 8:00 pm hour on the channel and headlines at 11:00pm.
