The Cathy Newman Show to launch on Sky News

Award-winning journalist Cathy Newman is bringing her own style of friendly, but forensic, political journalism to Sky News.

The Cathy Newman Show, launching on 27 April at 7pm, combines agenda-setting interviews, exclusive investigations and spirited debate from Sky News' Westminster studio.

The show, airing Monday to Thursday on Sky News and YouTube, is designed to cut through the noise and make sense of the stories that matter.

'The perfect time to get started'

Newman, who joins Sky News after two decades at Channel 4, will lead a show featuring uninterrupted conversations that challenge perspectives – with a warm but rigorous approach.

The show will include interviews with leading political, public and cultural figures, original reporting and investigations, and analysis of the biggest UK, US and European stories.

"With the local elections coming up, it feels like the perfect time to get started," said Cathy Newman.

"I'm looking forward to welcoming guests on to 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."

There will also be longer-form investigations and documentaries that sit alongside the show, with a new podcast launching this autumn.

The programme is part of Sky News' 2030 strategy for premium, video-first journalism, designed to bring personality-led reporting to audiences wherever they are.

"Cathy's journalism is forensic, fearless and engaging, and this new format brings that to life in a way that truly connects with audiences," said Jonathan Levy, executive editor and managing director.

Join us from 27 April at 7pm for interviews that probe, investigations that reveal, and conversations that matter.
