Sky News at Ten Ends 25-Year Run, Replaced by Conversational Format
Sky News has ended its flagship evening bulletin after more than two decades on air. The new programme, The Wrap, debuts with focus on storytelling and debate rather than traditional news presentation.
Sky News has concluded its long-running evening news bulletin, Sky News at Ten, which has broadcast for over 25 years. The programme's final edition aired on September 25, 2026, marking the end of an era in UK broadcast journalism.
Replacing the traditional format is The Wrap, a new two-hourly late evening programme that launched on September 26. Rather than following the conventional structure of a news bulletin, The Wrap emphasises storytelling and debate, with segments examining the next day's newspaper front pages.
This shift reflects broader changes in how television news audiences consume current affairs, with broadcasters increasingly moving away from rigid bulletin formats toward more flexible, discussion-driven programming. Sky News positions the change as an evolution in its evening output rather than a wholesale abandonment of late-night news coverage.
For expats and international residents: If you relied on Sky News at Ten as part of your UK news routine, the change means the evening slot now offers a different editorial approach. The Wrap's emphasis on analysis and newspaper review may appeal if you prefer context and debate to straight reporting.
