Sky launches ‘first climate change-focused primetime news show’
Sky News will broadcast what it claims to be the first daily primetime news show dedicated to climate change on Wednesday 7th April.
‘The Daily Climate Show’ will be hosted by Sky News presenter Anna Jones and will follow correspondents across the globe as they investigate how climate change is affecting the world and its inhabitant's livelihoods.
The announcement comes with Britain’s preparation to host COP26 this November and will detail how viewers can make small changes to their daily lives to make a big difference to climate issues. It also follows Sky’s pledge to become a net zero business by 2030.
The programme will be televised at 6:30pm and 9:30pm Monday to Friday.
Head of Sky News, John Ryley, said: “There has never been a more urgent need to report accurately on the climate crisis and to bring this story to new audiences.
“In this critical year for action ahead of COP26, ‘The Daily Climate Show’ from Sky News will feature forensic data-journalism, expert analysis and eye-witness reporting and look at the solutions to climate change."
