Sophy Ridge on Sunday (also Sunday with Niall Paterson) is a Sky News Sunday morning talk show fronted by Sophy Ridge. It aired from 8 January 2017[1] until 16 July 2023.[2]
Until July 2018, the programme was broadcast from 10:00 am to 11:00 am (with a 30-minute highlights show broadcast at 9:30 pm).[3] It was broadcast at the same time as ITV's Peston on Sunday, until both programmes were rescheduled.[4]
In its final period on air, the programme moved to an even earlier slot of 8:30am to 9:30am and was followed by Sophy Ridge: The Take, a half-hour programme reacting to the interviews from the main programme.[5]
From 10 September 2017 until 29 April 2018, Ridge was on maternity leave, with Niall Paterson fronting the show (rebranded as Sunday with Niall Paterson). Ridge returned on 4 May 2018.[6] On 16 May 2021 she began another period of maternity leave,[7] with Trevor Phillips occupying the slot and the show temporarily renamed Trevor Phillips on Sunday.[8]
As part of Sky News' coverage of the 2019 United Kingdom general election, it was announced that the programme would be broadcast on a Saturday morning as well.[9][10]
