Sky News

Sky News is a rolling TV news channel providing 24 hour news coverage including the latest breaking news. Currently broadcasting from its headquarters in Osterley, near London, the channel provides domestic and international coverage to audiences in the UK as well as around the globe. Sky News started broadcasting on 5 February 1989 as part of the then four-channel Sky Television service. Sky News provides an hourly news radio service to multiple radio networks in the UK. Although the station is targeted at the UK and Ireland, it is carried around the world on a number of services, particularly being favoured by expatriates who want to keep up-to-date with the latest news from home. The channel currently has seven UK bases each with their own correspondents, but the channel can also call upon a wide range of resources and global bureaux provided by its parent company NewsCorp.

Sky News has built its schedule around the main, highly experienced anchors with appointment to view broadcasts regularly being supplemented by landmark broadcasts. When major breaking news reaches the channel, it has more recently started to revert to the old double-headed style with two presenters anchoring. Sky News is famous for its innovations in news broadcasting and regularly wins awards for this and also for its broadcasting in general.

Business News

Sky News broadcasts breaking business news and information during the day, and displays market index data on its scrolling ticker. During its two Live Desk segments, aired at 10:00 and 13:00 UK time respectively, the channel draws on its worldwide resources and broadcasts live updates from its sister station Sky News Business Channel in Australia during the morning segment, and from the Fox Business Network during the afternoon segment.
