Live at Five (Sky News programme)
Sky News at Five (formerly "Live at Five") and Sky News at Six were the titles of Sky News' authoritative hour-long evening news round-ups, beginning at 5pm and 6pm, British time. Format. Until October 2016, the slot was anchored by Jeremy Thompson on weekdays, providing a round-up of all the day's events and coverage of any late-breaking news. The programme ran until 6:30pm (7pm on Fridays), although the 6-7pm hour was known as "Sky News at Six". The programme was branded "Live at Five" from  the channel's launch in 1989 until April 2011, when a change in branding policy was introduced, and the majority of Sky News output was rebranded as simply Sky News. In October 2016, the programme was axed as part of a schedule change. Rivals. The programme's main rival was "BBC News at Five", anchored by Huw Edwards on BBC News. Channel 5 also aired "5 News at 5" - their main news programme - at the same time.
