Sky News reinvents News at Ten for the modern audience with The Wrap

Sky News today announces The Wrap, a bold evolution of its 10pm output that moves beyond the traditional late-night bulletin to focus on debating, analysing and making sense of the day's news, not just reporting it.

Launching Monday 26 January, The Wrap will air nightly from 10pm to midnight and reflects how audiences now engage with news. In an always-on digital world, viewers now get breaking news instantly, wherever they are, and no longer rely on a scheduled bulletin to catch up at the end of the day. As a result, the format will lean more heavily on innovative video storytelling and analysis rather than focusing on traditional TV packages.

At the same time, audiences are increasingly drawn to formats that offer personality, perspective and conversation, a trend driving the rise of news chat shows across YouTube and social video. The Wrap leans into this growing appetite for discussion-led, personality-driven news and will be presented by Anna Botting (Mon-Thu) and Gillian Joseph (Fri-Sun), two of Sky News' most experienced and respected anchors.

High-profile panellists, from leading experts and journalists to special guests, will join the entire show each night creating a live, fast-moving conversation that reacts to events as they happen and keeps pace with a constantly shifting news agenda.

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.

Broadcasting from a newly rebranded Sky News studio at Millbank during the week, The Wrap turns Sky News' flagship 10pm bulletin into a rolling late-night hub for live reporting, expert commentary and agenda-setting discussion.

David Rhodes, Executive Chairman of Sky News, said: "The 10pm slot has been a cornerstone of Sky News for years. Anna and Gillian remain at the helm, now leading greater conversation, explanation and debate. More than the news at 10, The Wrap will have a new format that increasingly values context and live discussion alongside breaking news, ensuring audiences get "The Full Story, First".

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.

Gillian Joseph, Chief Presenter at Sky News, said: 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.
