TEN series The Bolt Report will return on SKY News at 7pm weeknights from May.
It ends speculation as to whether the show would return to TEN this year, but airing on the joint News Corp / Telstra-owned broadcaster may be a cheaper option than producing the show for TEN.
Bolt will also continue his nightly appearances on Steve Price’s radio show and writing for the Herald Sun. He was recently a correspondent from Rome during George Pell’s video appearances into the child abuse inquiry.
“It’s a bit scary,” Bolt told News Corp. “SKY has been brilliant at news. Now it’s beefing up the views. Five nights with the radio show as well, so it will be full on — but it’s an election year, so why not?”
The Bolt Report will be first nightly production from SKY’s Melbourne studio.
Former prime ministerial chief of staff Peta Credlin is also believed to be considering an offer to join SKY’s federal election coverage.

So free to air television won’t be contaminated anymore.
Well he’ll feel right at home there with all the other like minded people there.
A very small receptive audience,once you have seen 1 Blot show if your a masochistic you record it and watch it every night,same old same without fail
Sky News slowly morphing into Aussie version of Fox News.
Sky just launched The Latest with Laura Jayes in that timeslot a month or two ago. Does she just get the axe now?
SKY advises: “The Latest with Laura Jayes will move to the new timeslot of Monday – Friday at 6pm.
Reporting LIVE will go on hiatus while Stan Grant is on extended leave. He continues in his role as International Editor with SKY NEWS.”
Oh that’s interesting, thanks David. Grant was rumoured to be considering a political career so he may not be coming back anyway if that pans out.
He has a new show on NITV.
Fox News would be Andrew’s natural home, but it’s already exceeded its quota for right-wing commentators.
Makes a lot of sense – it’s natural home is on Sky with all their other panel shows. Receptive audience too.
