(Picture: Sky News)Veteran Sky News journalist Stephen Dixon is joining GB News to host a new programme from December.
The presenter, who spent 21 years at Sky, said he was “inspired by the energy” and “fun” of the new network as it continues to expand.
It comes just months after his Sky News co-presenter Isabel Webster left for the channel.
Dixon began his career in local radio at the Radio Trent group before joining ITN and ITV as a presenter and producer on Five News.
He was later a programme editor on Channel 4’s Big Breakfast News and a presenter on finance channel Simply Money with Angela Rippon.
Until 2019, he presented Sunrise on Sky News for seven years alongside Gillian Joseph and Isabel Webster.
He said: “I’m inspired by the energy, fun, and absolute passion at GB News to shed light on the real concerns of the Great British Public, wherever they live in the UK.
“It’s many years since I felt this excited to get to work.”
The 72-year-old journalist and broadcaster had been absent from the channel since announcing a break two weeks into its launch and later said he “came close to a breakdown” after suffering from stress due to the station’s technical problems.
