A new pop-up channel that will omit Brexit-related coverage is being launched by Sky News. The spin-off channel, called Sky News: Brexit-Free, will kick off at 5pm on Wednesday and will be available from 5pm until 10pm on weekdays. Viewers wishing to catch up on current affairs that do not involve the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union can watch on Sky channel 523 as well as on YouTube. John Ryley, head of Sky News, said: “Sky News Brexit-Free is a bold approach but listening to public opinion over the past weeks and months, it’s something we know our viewers will find valuable. The latest Brexit goings-on will still be covered on the main Sky News channel.
