Sky News Debuts Unscripted Breakfast Show with Sophy Ridge and Wilfred Frost

On Monday, October 31, 2025, Sky News is set to debut its new breakfast show, "Mornings With Ridge and Frost." The program, hosted by seasoned journalists Sophy Ridge and Wilfred Frost, will air Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. London time.

In addition to the TV show, the duo will also launch a 10-minute podcast called "Cheat Sheet With Ridge and Frost," which will provide a daily news rundown at 6 a.m. London time. Ridge previously hosted the primetime show "Politics Hub With Sophy Ridge" for Sky News, while Frost is known for his work on "Sky News Breakfast" and "Sky News Today."

The hosts have spent the last three months preparing for the launch, getting to know each other and developing a rapport. They promise an authentic, unscripted approach, with Ridge emphasizing the importance of "communicating with the audience in a much more direct way." Frost echoes this sentiment, saying they want to capture the "pub experience" of informal, yet informative, discussions on the day's top stories.

While maintaining Sky News' reputation for serious news coverage, Ridge and Frost aim to attract younger and more diverse audiences by incorporating elements of social media-style content. They believe that "authentic, unscripted conversation" is key to engaging these viewers, who may be more accustomed to informal, conversational news formats.

The new breakfast show will feature high-profile guests from the worlds of politics, business, culture, and beyond, with the hosts aiming to "set the agenda" rather than simply following the day's headlines. Frost emphasizes the importance of delivering content that is relevant to the viewers' lives, leveraging their access to influential figures.
