Broadcasts

The News Hour was the name initially given to the 5pm hour of Sky News only with Sky News at Six following after, also presented by Austin. As of 2020, the 6 pm hour is branded as the News Hour at Six [1][2] The show is broadcast as two distinctive hour long programmes with the days news summarised in each.

Mark Austin presents most Monday to Thursday programmes and occasionally hosts the show on Fridays, however, typically Jonathan Samuels presents most Friday editions. Austin is, however, the only presenter referenced in the show title with the slot branded as simply The News Hour when any other Sky presenter host the programme. Other relief presenters include Tom Macleod and Isabel Webster.

The show is currently broadcast from the "Glass Box", actually Studio 21, Sky Central, Osterley.[3] but during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the show was presented live from Kyiv
