It's a straight forward hour of news weekday and weekends so a logical move IMOGood to see - you don't get enough effort from news channels at weekends, despite it being, in the UK at least, some of their best performing slots. Over the years, both have done a few seven-day stripped things, but it's an exception rather than a rule and it's still rarely parity with the weekday equivalents. Though, to Sky's credit, they do at least try for news most of the day, in contrast to the BBC insisting on cycling through an ever-thinning number of pre-records unless they absolutely have to interrupt them.
Back in the day, Live at Five was a 7 day a week brand as well
