Sky news is the only news channel i watch now because whilst it does have ad breaks, they arent long and there is little sport. Thats what i love about thrm, there is a brief sports report, a couple lines said, a round up of the scores and thats it, it gets back to reporting on Syria, or global disasters. Their business section is longer than the sports bulletin and thats a good thing, it makes sense because sky have a sports channel, when i want to watch sports news i flick over to that, end of. The channel has great reporters who dont stumble or make any silly random comments, they even have reporters who are trained in local languages to the places they ...  Read the complete review

Along with BBC News, Sky news is the largest news channel in the UK. One the one hand the channel's coverage can be said to be efficient in that the SKy News reportage team appears well-distrubuted and both fast and efficient, with Sky News sometimes reporting breaking news stories before the BBC have gotten wind of them.

How can a company with responsibilities to profit and shareholders truly deliver impartiality. It can't. Witness the recent British ...  Read the complete review

Sky News is a channel on freeview that everyone should be able to receive fo free whether or not you have a Sky Subscription that runs 24 hours a day. It used to be on channel 501 on sky but this may change depending upon your internet or TV package provider. For example, it is on channel 602 on Virgin media. I find myself gravitating towards Sky News normally as the first place I look if I hear some breaking news. I also turn over to Sky News if there is just nothing I fancy watching on TV as I would rather watch something factual than just sit flicking through channels endlessly until something I like comes on TV. The only problem I have with ...  Read the complete review

Sky news is one of the multi platform 24 hour news channels available on cable and digital TV , I have had sky for several years but have recently noticed how hysterical sky news can be at times They have been broadcasting for over 20 years and can at times be the first to bring breaking news stories and if you miss the first broadcast you can pick it up via the ticker at the bottom of the screen , another good feature is the fact that if your viewing by sky you can press the red button on the remote and watch certain reports again at your leisure Sky News however seem to forget at times there is more to the UK than the south of England and ...  Read the complete review
