Sky News to launch The Wrap; A new programme at 10pm

Sky News has announced a new programme for its 10pm output that moves beyond the traditional late-night bulletin.

The Wrap will focus on debating, analysing and making sense of the day’s news, not just reporting it.

Launching on Monday 26 January, The programme will air nightly from 10pm to midnight and reflects how audiences now engage with news with a format that leans more heavily on innovative video storytelling and analysis rather than focusing on traditional TV packages.

The programme – broadcasting from a newly rebranded Sky News studio at Millbank during the week – will be presented by current News at Ten presenter Anna Botting on Monday to Thursday, and Gillian Joseph from Friday to Sunday.

Anna Botting, Chief Presenter at Sky News, said: “I started presenting Sky News at Ten twenty years ago and it’s really exciting that we are now evolving the show.

“The Wrap moves away from being a traditional News at 10 bulletin and means we can be even more nimble at adapting to breaking news.

“Think of it as a hub for debate and analysis, with our brilliant guests, available wherever you choose to watch. Having seen the industry transform over my 35 years as a journalist, I’m thrilled to be part of this bold and dynamic new chapter.”

A cornerstone of The Wrap will continue to be a review of the next day’s newspapers, offering viewers clarity on how the agenda is being shaped overnight and reinforcing the programme’s role as a bridge between the day just ended and the one ahead.

Gillian Joseph, Chief Presenter at Sky News, added: “From my first day presenting News at Ten, I was full of pride to anchor the flagship programme. 21 years later, and I’m just as delighted to be presenting its successor – The Wrap.

“Audiences today don’t just want to know what’s happened, they want to understand why it matters. The Wrap gives us the space to unpack the stories shaping our world, and hear different perspectives. I’m genuinely excited to share this new show.”

Sky News recently announced changes to their 7pm programme, which will see Cathy Newman join the news channel to front a policial programme from the heart of Westminster.
