Description: Sky News is a 24-hour British domestic and international television news and sports-news channel that started ... more
Sky News ... broadcasting on 16 February 1989 as part of the then four-channel Sky Television service. It was modelled on the US CNN channel and soon gained a reputation for immediacy and innovation that reflected well on BSkyB. The station can now be viewed in the UK, and around Europe and the world. Sky News also provides news for UK local radio stations. The usual rolling news schedule is supplemented with a number of landmark programmes and news specials. It has a distinctive look and sound, and despite occasional criticism, has won many awards over the years. The channel has seven UK and eight foreign offices, and it can call on worldwide News Corp resources. The channel has appeared in both films and television programmes, but has lost three-quarters of its viewers and its historic lead in the last few years to BBC News 24.

Newest Review: ... this news channel I know their is no point tuning in other news channels. On Sky News you will get the best news all through out the day. Sometimes they do over do it a little especially with the Jackson Funeral thing recently. They featured that too much times on the channel with the same story being repeated all the time on the channel. Sky News are excellent for bringing all the news as ... more

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

Premium Review Sky News: 24 hour news channel on satellite, cable & freeview (256 words)

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. Sky also have loads of other programmes that they do such as Jeff Randal Live where he talks to big business bosses and asks them about the recession and really puts pressure on them to hit hard question which is always a pleasure to watch because I want to know what caused the recession. They also have a slot at 7 where they give you information ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Sky News: First For Breaking News (425 words)

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
