To The Point is an Australian television political commentary program broadcast 4 times weekly on Sky News Australia.[1] The program is hosted by Kristina Keneally and Peter van Onselen.[2] The program premiered on 1 June 2015 and covers a range of political news as well as commentary and analysis from Keneally and van Onselen, plus guest contributors.[3][4]

The program replaced Lunchtime Agenda in the 1:30pm AEST timeslot[5] and serves as a lead-in to Parliament Question time during parliamentary sitting weeks. The program airs in-between PVO NewsDay, which van Onselen hosts solo.

It is broadcast from the Sky News centre in the Sydney suburb of Macquarie Park. Laura Jayes has filled in as a guest co-host.[6]
