Sky News is launching a new pop-up channel dedicated to Brexit-free news, as Sky-news reported.

Sky News Brexit-Free will go on air today on Sky channel 523, and it will be live from 5pm to 10pm Monday to Friday.

Sky News will continue to cover all angles of Brexit in detail on its main channel, as well as break big stories from the UK and around the world.

A study released this summer found that a third of people are avoiding the news entirely.

More than 70% of them blamed Brexit, saying they were too frustrated over the political debate surrounding it.

Almost 60% said the news was having a negative impact on their mood, and 40% felt they felt powerless to influence events.
