SKY NEWS has announced a major schedule shake up – with a beloved weekend show axed.
The rolling news channel has culled Sophy Ridge on Sunday after six years on screens.
Presented by journalist Sophy Ridge, the show featured politicians and journalists who discussed the week's political developments.
Announcing the end of the show, the host said: "I can’t quite believe it but this week is the final ever Sophy Ridge on Sunday.
"The last six years have been an absolute privilege. Thank you to everyone who has watched and made it part of your Sunday routine.
"It’s something I have never taken for granted."
