Sky News Launches Flagship Morning Show Mornings with Ridge and Frost

Sky News is relaunching its flagship morning programme as "Mornings with Ridge and Frost," airing live from 7am to 10am starting November 3. The show will be hosted by award-winning journalists Sophy Ridge and Wilfred Frost, broadcasting from a modernized studio in central London and featuring agenda-setting interviews, in-depth analysis, and reporting from correspondents across the UK and internationally. Complementing the live broadcast, the network is launching a daily 10-minute podcast called "Cheat Sheet with Ridge and Frost" and developing a new morning newsletter, expanding its multi-platform news delivery to include digital and social media content tailored for audience engagement. This new offering aims to meet evolving viewer habits, with about 20% of Britons using social media as their primary news source, and will offer real-time interaction via WhatsApp, social platforms, and email. Weekend editions will be hosted by Kamali Melbourne and Anna Jones, while Gareth Barlow will cover early and late morning slots. Sky News executive chairman David Rhodes described the show as a “premium product built for the digital future” that will provide the sharpest take on politics, business, and global affairs.
