Saturday Edition (also known as Saturday Edition with Paul Murray) is a weekly Australian news and current affairs television program airing on Sky News Live.[1]

The program premiered on 9 July 2016 and runs from 7am to 10am (AEST) on Saturday mornings. It was originally planned to have the show break out for 30 minutes to allow Pyne & Marles to air, however that program was moved to Friday afternoons after Saturday Edition premiered.[2][3] The program replaces the bulk of First Edition as Sky News' breakfast program.

The program is hosted by Paul Murray, and is the second Sky News format he presents, alongside his nightly primetime program Paul Murray Live.[4] Coinsiding with the launch of Saturday Edition, the Friday episode of Paul Murray Live became a highlights package of scenes from the previous week.[2] Jaynie Seal presents news updates and Jim Callinan presents sport.[5][6]
