Sky News

Sky News is a 24 hour news channel. It's been going since 1989 and has won a bunch of awards for breaking news stories. It's a fairly good balance between rolling news and features, although the features normally turn up overnight when the majority of viewers are sleeping and they don't want to pay live news reporters to report to nobody. Which makes a lot of sense, I suppose. They also have specific business, sports, entertainment and politics reports at specific times of day/week and cover Prime Minister's Question Time monthly. They're also very good about cutting into whatever they were doing when news breaks, and they keep a running tape of ...  Read the complete review

Sky News is a 24 hour news channel available on satellite, cable & freeview. Although there are a wide variety of such news channels now available, in my opinion Sky News is the best amongst the bunch. This is because it presents its news in an easy to understand & clear format. Also the main news stories are reviewed regularly so you don't need to switch on for long before you get up to date with all the developing stories of the day. Breaking news is presented on a yellow bar which scrolls down the bottom of the screen. I particulary enjoy waking up to their sunrise show which is hosted by Eamonn Holmes, which as well as presenting the ...  Read the complete review

Even though i'm a fan of BBC News more than Sky News, I have to say Sky does break the news first because whenever there is breaking news they cut whatever they are doing and tell you it and they have in big flashing writing breaking news, they are probably 3 minutes faster than BBC but even 3 minutes counts for alot.

They also have a slot at 7 where they give you information ...  Read the complete review

Sky News is an award winning, number one news channel on TV, which I use everyday. It's purely a news channel, but there are many adverts every now and then to give breaks between news bulletins as well as weather and more. Sky News has many presenters including Eamonn Holmes and Kay Burley on weekdays and Gilian Joseph and Mark Longhurst on weekends. You get repeats of the headlines every 15 minutes throughout the day, 24/7. The news is usually presented in order from the most important to least important. There is a panel at the bottom of the screen, which has breaking news updates running. This is really useful as you can look here and read what comes ...  Read the complete review

Sky News is a 24 hour news channel which first starting broadcasting in February 1989 as part of the Sky Television service which had a very small amount of channels. Sky News is predominantly aimed at news in the UK & Ireland and is broadcast on to Sky & Freeview customers, however, it's quite common to see this in hotels and some bars abroad so Brits can keep in touch with the news back at home. There are many well established news anchors on the programme and it's broken up in to lots of different slots throughout the day and may specialise on something special for a certain amount of hours each day such as Sport, News, Entertainment ...  Read the complete review
