Saturday Edition is a weekly Australian news and current affairs television program airing on Sky News Live.[1]
It is hosted by Greg Thomson and Jaynie Seal.
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 was hosted by Paul Murray, along with 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] In 2016, Jaynie Seal presented news updates and Jim Callinan presented sport.[5][6]
In 2017, Caroline Marcus was added as co-host of the program and Greg Thomson replaced Callinan as sports presenter, while Seal exited.[7] From 4 March 2017, Seal and Thomson became main anchors of the program, with both Murray and Marcus exiting without notice.
The program, along with Sunday Edition will return in 2018.
