The Friday Show is an Australian television news and commentary program broadcast weekly on Sky News Australia, hosted by Janine Perrett. The show is a replacement of axed format Keneally and Cameron, and as such debuted without promotion, surprising regular viewers of the former program.[1]

The series focuses mainly on political and financial topics, with various Sky News regular contributors and journalists discussing events of the week.[2] The programs airs at 4pm Sydney time on Friday afternoons, in the timeslot PM Agenda holds on other weekdays.

The program is broadcast from the Sky News studios in the Sydney suburb of Macquarie Park and has news updates from a Sky News presenter every half hour throughout the show.

On 19 February 2016, The Friday Show marked the twentieth anniversary of Sky News at the beginning of the second hour of the program at 5:00pm AEDT, aligning with the exact time of the first broadcast of the channel twenty years earlier, by playing the 1996 opening introduction to Sky News.[3]
