The Wrap is Sky News UK’s late-night flagship programme, designed to help audiences make sense of the day’s biggest stories before the news cycle begins again. Airing from 10pm to midnight, the show moves beyond traditional headline reporting to focus on discussion, explanation, and analysis. Rather than simply revisiting events, it explores the “how” and “why” behind the news, offering viewers a deeper understanding of the issues shaping the world.
Each edition brings together a panel of journalists, commentators, experts, and special guests for informed and lively conversations about the day’s most important developments. Covering politics, international affairs, business, culture, and social issues, the programme embraces a broad range of perspectives while maintaining Sky News’ commitment to accuracy and impartiality. The fast-paced format allows discussions to evolve as new information emerges throughout the evening.
A defining feature of The Wrap is its emphasis on debate and interpretation. Viewers are encouraged to look beyond the headlines as presenters and guests unpack the implications of major events, challenge assumptions, and examine competing viewpoints. This approach reflects a growing audience appetite for context and understanding, rather than a simple recap of the day’s events.
Blending authoritative journalism with dynamic discussion, The Wrap represents an evolution in late-night news broadcasting. By prioritising analysis, personality, and informed debate, the show offers audiences a thoughtful conclusion to the day’s events while preparing them for the stories that will shape tomorrow.
The Wrap is presented by two of Sky News’ most respected broadcasters: Anna Botting and Gillian Joseph. Anna Botting hosts the Monday to Thursday editions, bringing more than three decades of journalistic experience, a calm authority, and an accomplished record covering major international events. Gillian Joseph presents from Friday to Sunday, drawing on her extensive background in television news and her ability to guide nuanced discussions with warmth and insight. Together, they provide a trusted and engaging presence, steering viewers through the complexities of the modern news landscape with confidence and clarity.
