Sky Midnight News is a news strand that airs every day on Sky News and on Sky News HD in the UK. The first 30–35 minutes of each hour features a round-up of the news stories and a look ahead to the morning news. The back half hour is typically filled by a re-transmission of the previous evening's The Wrap.[1]
On weekdays, the format is used from midnight until 3 am and is followed by Sky World News. The slot is regularly presented by Kimberley Leonard. On weekends, the 2 am-3 am hour is usually filled by a documentary.
The Midnight News was once a 30-minute newscast branded individually from other hours in the schedule and was the only news programme in its time slot in the UK, however the programme now falls under general Sky News branding.
