Saturday Edition
Saturday Edition is a weekly broadcast on Sky News Live in Australia, focusing on news and current affairs. The program, co-hosted by Greg Thomson and Jaynie Seal, debuted on 9 July 2016 and is scheduled every Saturday from 7am to 10am (AEST). It took over much of the timeslot previously occupied by First Edition as the network's breakfast show.
Initially, the format included a half-hour segment for Pyne & Marles, but following the launch of Saturday Edition, that show was shifted to Friday afternoons. The original host was Paul Murray, who also led Paul Murray Live. With the introduction of Saturday Edition, the Friday installment of his program transformed into a highlights reel. In the program’s first year, Seal delivered news bulletins while Jim Callinan handled sports coverage.
By 2017, Caroline Marcus joined as a co-presenter, with Thomson taking over sports duties from Callinan and Seal departing. Starting 4 March 2017, Seal and Thomson became the principal hosts, coinciding with the exit of Murray and Marcus. Additionally, they present Sunday Edition from 7am AEDT, a one-hour show that airs before Speers on Sunday.
Sunday Edition
Sunday Edition, also referred to as Sunday Edition with Peter van Onselen, is a weekly Australian news and current affairs show broadcast on Sky News Live.
The program launched on 10 July 2016 and airs Sundays from 7am to 10am (AEST), including a one-hour intermission at 8:30am for Sunday Agenda. It replaced most of the Sunday morning slot previously held by First Edition.
Originally hosted by Peter van Onselen, who also anchors Sunday Agenda, PVO NewsDay, and To The Point, the show features news updates presented by Jaynie Seal and sports segments delivered by Greg Thomson.
In 2017, Kristina Keneally joined as co-host alongside van Onselen; she also co-hosts To The Point with him.
