The Live Desk was a news programme which started broadcasting on Sky News in the United Kingdom from 8 September 2008. Originally, The Live Desk aired twice at 9am and 1pm but from January 11, 2011 the Live Desk's 1pm edition was cancelled and subsequently only one edition was broadcast at 9 a.m., presented by Charlotte Hawkins with Gillian Joseph on Friday. The programme was replaced with a standard Sky News bulletin fronted by the same newscasters in later 2011.
