SKY News Background

Sky News is a rolling TV news channel providing 24 hour news coverage including the latest breaking news. Currently broadcasting from a news centre in 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.

Sky News has started to revamp its graphics almost every year, with the latest revamp being revealed at 6am on 3rd April 2008. The latest look has fewer on screen graphics and a more minimalist style.

Sky News has been featured in many feature show
Films: Behind Enemy Lines, Independence Day, Johnny English, Mission: Impossible, Shaun of the Dead, Stealth, St Trinians, The Bourne Ultimatum, The Day After Tomorrow, Volcano, Why We Fight
* Film by 20th Century Fox, a News Corporation asset.
