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 studio guests.

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

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