Sky News Brings a Fresh Spin to Breakfast with Ridge and Frost
Sky News is stepping into a bold new chapter with its latest breakfast show, Mornings With Ridge and Frost , hosted by Sophy Ridge and Wilfred Frost. The program, launching this Monday, aims to reinvent what morning television feels like—mixing sharp journalism with an easygoing, conversational tone that feels more like a chat at the local pub than a typical news broadcast.
Running from Monday to Thursday, 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. London time, the show is built around authenticity, open dialogue, and unscripted exchanges. Both Ridge and Frost have stressed that the goal isn’t to lecture viewers, but to invite them into the conversation. Ridge explained that the best moments often happen when things aren’t scripted—when hosts bring their own insight and humor into discussions. She described it as “communicating with the audience in a much more direct way,” a contrast to the traditional news bulletin format.
Frost, the son of legendary broadcaster David Frost, echoed that idea with a smile, saying that both he and Ridge are “massive geeks” who also enjoy making complex stories relatable. In their rehearsals, they’ve found that real conversation—where hosts can share what personally stands out to them in a story—creates a more natural and engaging atmosphere. As Frost put it, it’s like the viewers “pull up a bar stool” and join the talk.

This informal tone doesn’t mean the show will shy away from serious news. Ridge emphasized that they still want to tackle important issues, but in a way that feels accessible and human—more like the kind of debate you’d hear between friends. That blend of seriousness and spontaneity, they believe, will resonate with younger and more diverse audiences who are used to the authenticity of social media interactions.
The duo has spent months preparing and getting to know each other, and their chemistry seems to be a cornerstone of the show’s design. Ridge joked that being a presenter often feels like “ships in the night,” with everyone on different schedules. But working closely together has helped them build a rhythm that audiences are likely to feel right away.
Alongside the TV show, they’ll also launch a podcast, Cheat Sheet With Ridge and Frost , which drops daily at 6 a.m. The 10-minute show will break down the day’s top headlines with quick insights—essentially a “news cheat sheet” for listeners who want to stay informed before work.
Both hosts seem genuinely excited, describing the project as a “blank slate” and a “seminal moment” for Sky News. Frost summed it up best: “All the pieces have fallen into place—it’s going to be unscripted, free-flowing, fun, and important.” Ridge added with a laugh that the only real challenge now might be “the alarm clock and how many coffees I can have before going on air.”
Mornings With Ridge and Frost premieres this Monday on Sky News, promising an energizing start to the day—with real talk, big guests, and plenty of heart.
