Sky News is to launch flagship business programme 'Ian King Live' on Monday 2 June.

The half hour show, presented by Ian King, will be broadcast live Monday to Thursday at 18:30 from the Sky News City studio in The Gherkin, London. The programme will include major business and economic stories of the day and feature King interviewing business leaders and policy makers.

John Ryley, head of Sky News, said: "The business agenda is one that affects each and every one of us, and Ian King Live will really help people understand why the decisions that get made every day in the business world have an impact on the lives they lead."

King recently joined Sky News from The Times where he was business and city editor. In addition to his role on Ian King Live, he will also provide analysis on corporate and business news throughout the day across multiple Sky News platforms. He can be found tweeting @IanKingSky.
