Advantages: 24 hours sports news coverage, very interesting, big name interviews

Disadvantages: can repeat a lot of stories which can get boring

This is one of the channels i watch the most on sky. It is a great channel for the sports fan with 24 hour coverage on all sports with the main focus being on football. Some may think its unfair focussing on football but it is understandable as it is the most watched sport in the UK on a daily basis so more people will be interested in it than other sports.

The information given by sky sports news is huge, they have presenters giving out constant news stories, on the right hand side of the screen they have more information which is usually the league tables of sports running through, on the bottom it has another news reel containing all the latest news, with a smaller one above it which usually shows breaking news or fixtures.

The news show is laidback with presenters having a bit of banter but at the same time being formal in the way they present the news, they regularly have famous sporting names in the studio or on the phone to help get the news stories across, they also interact with the viewers a lot reading out emails and texts and asking for opinions.

One disadvantage is that on a slow news day a lot of stories can repeat themselves every hour, so it can get a bit boring, watching the same reports over and over again.

This show is a much watch for sports and in particular football fans, its great at keeping you updated in all thats going on in the world of sport. Theres nothing like the great Jeff Stelling going mental when his beloved hartlepool score on a saturday afternoon when he is presenting!!

Summary: a great sports news channel that has to be watched by sports fans!
