The Sarah-Jane Mee Show (also known as Sky News with Sarah Hewson) is a weekday news programme in the United Kingdom on Sky News, presented by Sarah-Jane Mee. The slot has been part of the Sky News schedule since 2005, most notably with Kay Burley as presenter until October 2019. It combines rolling-news coverage with debates and interviews on the day’s issues plus human interest stories. The show airs between 2 pm–5 pm Monday to Friday. On Fridays, the show title is not used on air, however the same show format is used and presented by Belle Donati.
Broadcasts[edit]
The show began in its current format in October 2019 when Kay Burley and Sarah-Jane Mee swapped time slots. Kay took over a shorter self titled breakfast programme whilst Sarah-Jane moved to afternoons at the earlier 2 pm-5 pm slot, with The News Hour with Mark Austin following from 5 pm til 7 pm.[1]
The show is currently broadcast from the “Glass Box”, actually Studio 21, Sky Central, Osterley. It has also been broadcast from the UK party conferences.[2]
From September 2020 to June 2021, The Sarah-Jane Mee Show was branded in programme guides as Sky News with Sarah Hewson as Mee was on maternity leave from Sky News. During this time the typical Friday format was used each weekday (i.e. the programme title isn’t been used and Sarah Hewson is presenting). Isabel Webster hosted the slot on Fridays during this period.
After serving as Friday presenter and relief anchor for many years, Sarah Hewson left Sky News in December 2021.

History[edit]
Until October 2007, the programme ran for two hours, and aired between 12 pm–2 pm, under the name of Lunchtime Live.[3] Thereafter the programme, known as Afternoon Live[4] ran for 4 hours (1 pm–5 pm) until the launch of The Live Desk in September 2008. From October 2016, the programme was moved to run from 3 pm–6:30 pm, as part of a new schedule. On Friday, as a result of no Ian King Live from 6:30 pm–7 pm, the show ran until 7 pm.
On 11 April 2011 the Afternoon Live name was axed as part of a wider refresh at Sky News; the strand was then simply known as Sky News. It was presented by Sarah Hewson on Friday, or Gamal Fahnbulleh when she is unavailable. Afternoon Live is also the name of a news programme on BBC News between 2 pm–5 pm on weekdays since 9 October 2017, which was usually presented by Simon McCoy.[5]
From September 2018, the afternoon slot on the channel was again rebranded to The Kay Burley Show, broadcast between 2 pm–5 pm, Kay hosted Monday to Thursday, while on Fridays the slot wasn’t named The Kay Burley Show as such, but a similar format is used and presented by Sarah Hewson.[6]
