Advantages: informative and entertaining

Disadvantages: repetitive

This is a very entertaining channel, that is informative too. Sky Sports News is a great channel if you are a sports fan in general.

*What is the Channel Like*
This channel provides news updates in the world of sport, and the main sports covered are : football, rugby, tennis and cricket, although others are covered too. This channel runs 24-hours a day, so things are repeated every half an hour/ hour. So I would recommend this channel if you would like to get update on sport once or twice a day.
The presenters are very cheerful, and quite young, and there is a lot of friendly banter. There are a lot reports on things in the community, which is a nice touch.

*Is it informative?*
The channel is a lot easier and quicker than the days where you have to get teletext to tell you the score. There is a sidebar that has a lot of league tables, of almost everything possible, football, rugby, fixtures for other sports and even speedway! For breaking sports news, this channel will deliver it before any other channel, and it appears in a bright yellow moving bar at the bottom of the screen, so it can not be missed.

*Soccer Saturday*
Soccer Saturday is a football score service that Sky Sports News offer, it feature former player, such as Matt Le Tisser and Paul Merson, two funny guys, watching and analysing games. Its hosted by Jeff Stelling. Again this is very entertaining.

This channel is available on Sky, Virgin Media, other Satellite Services as well as Freeview.

Thanks For Reading

Summary: great channel that can be really useful
