Everything you need to know

Sky News has announced The Cathy Newman Show, a major new flagship programme launching on 27 April across TV and digital platforms.

Fronted by award-winning journalist Cathy Newman, the show offers a fresh take on the 7pm slot: combining political journalism, agenda-setting interviews, debate and exclusive investigations in a warm, conversational format.

“With the local elections coming up, it feels like the perfect time to get started,” says Cathy. “I’m looking forward to welcoming guests onto the orange velvet sofa for big interviews, exclusives and real conversations that help make sense of it all. Join me from next week for a friendly but forensic chat.”

Longer-form investigations and documentaries will sit alongside the show, with a new podcast launching this autumn.

When is The Cathy Newman Show on?

Watch The Cathy Newman Show live from 7pm, 27 April, airing Monday to Thursday on Sky News and YouTube, presented from Sky News’ Westminster studio.

• Major interviews with leading political, public and cultural figures
• Exclusive investigations and original reporting
• Insight and analysis on the biggest UK, US and European stories
• Debate and discussion with key voices from Westminster and beyond
