Fee Band


After two decades hosting Channel 4 News, having previously covered politics for the programme, Cathy joined Sky to front their daily politics show.

Biography

Cathy Newman presents Sky News' flagship evening politics programme, The Cathy Neeman Show. For two decades she was one of Channel 4 News' main studio presenters, and was the first woman to co-host the programme. She joined Channel 4 News as political correspondent and has covered events in Westminster for the Daily Telegraph and Times Radio.

As well as Channel 4's main news programme, Cathy has also fronted Channel 4 documentaries on faith schools and police investigations. She co-presented the broadcaster’s Election Night from 2010 onwards, and also took an alternative look at the government’s cuts programme in How to Save £100bn. Cathy also broke a number of big political stories, including the arrest of David Cameron’s aide Steve Hilton, the revelation that the Home Office were employing illegal immigrants, and Gordon Brown’s insistence that Labour donor Ronald Cohen receive a knighthood. Cathy’s confrontation with Peter Mandelson over his stand-off with newspaper bosses became a surprise YouTube hit, whilst her stewardship of the Orwell Prize- nominated FactCheck Blog uncovered the truth behind everything from budgets and spending reviews to crime figures and politician’s overuse of certain words.

Prior to Channel 4, Cathy hosted GMTV’s The Sunday Programme, and served as the Financial Times’ chief political correspondent after a period covering politics and the media for the business daily. Before the FT she worked as media business correspondent at the Independent, and away from more serious issues has appeared on Have I Got News For You.
