Sky News Sets Nov. 3 Launch for Mornings With Ridge and Frost

The presenters promise a looser live conversation format to court younger and female viewers, with TV coverage backed by a 6 a.m. 'Cheat Sheet' podcast.

Overview

  • The breakfast programme will air Monday to Thursday from 7–10 a.m. in London, with the first show on Monday.
  • Sophy Ridge and Wilfred Frost say the format will lean on unscripted exchange, live jeopardy and warm, conversational interviews.
  • A 10‑minute daily audio briefing, Cheat Sheet With Ridge and Frost, will publish at 6 a.m. on all podcast platforms with five key stories and analysis.
  • Ridge frames the effort as a multi‑platform push to reach younger and more female viewers and to set the morning agenda rather than follow newspapers.
  • Ridge cautioned against politicians presenting news without challenge and invited Nigel Farage for a tough interview, as the show seeks to compete with GB News.
