Sky NewsSky News is Europe's first 24-hour television news channel, originally launched as part of the 4-channel Sky Television network in February 1989. Its main competitor in the UK is BBC News 24 while elsewhere in Europe it competes mainly with BBC World, Euronews and CNN International. A former competitor within the UK was the ITV News Channel, which has ceased broadcasting. Sky News is available via satellite in Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia and Oceania. The station broadcasts from Osterley, West London. Sky News currently employs around 50 on-screen staff: anchors, weather forecasters, correspondents and reporters, and over 500 behind-the-scenes workers. The station has 7 bureaux outside the United Kingdom & Ireland: Brussels, New Delhi, Johannesburg, Jerusalem, Moscow, Beijing and Washington, D.C. (although partnerships with other News Corporation-owned news outlets greatly increase this list) HistoryThe channel originally operated on a shoestring but quickly gained a reputation for journalistic integrity. Although the channel was reportedly run at a loss until 2002 [2] its award-winning journalism has brought Sky Television and its successor British Sky Broadcasting some much-needed prestige. Whilst it is fashionable for many of the newcomers to the news channel market to rapidly hire-and-fire presenters, Sky News is unique in that many of the original presenting team from the 1980s launch remain at the channel. However, one of its longest standing presenters, Bob Friend MBE, retired in late 2003. Sky News was the only UK 24 hour news service until the launch of BBC News 24 in November 1997, followed by the ITN News Channel (changing to the ITV News Channel before it closed down in December 2005) in August 2000. In September 1999 the European Commission ruled against a complaint by Sky News which argued that the publicly funded BBC News 24 was unfair and illegal under EU law. The EC ruled that the BBC licence fee should be considered state aid but that such aid was justified due to the public service remit of the BBC and that it did not exceed actual costs of the channel. In March 2000 Sky News Active was launched, a 24-hour service providing headlines (and other services) on demand. It proved popular, and in late 2001/early 2002 it launched a 8-screen video news service, rather than just 4-screen. Sky News Poll, had also proved popular with a new question each day. In March 2004 it was announced that Sky News had won a 5-year contract to supply news bulletins to the British terrestrial channel Five, taking over from ITN in January 2005. On October 24, 2005, Sky News was relaunched from a brand-new studio in a new building at Osterley, West London. This replaced the building at Isleworth which had been in use for almost 17 years since the channel's launch. Music and on screen graphics were heavily revised and for the first time in the channel's history it began broadcasting in Widescreen (16:9) EDTV format (except for Sky News International which remained 4:3) . The new schedule includes more programmes based around news presenters such as Jeremy Thompson, while still breaking news around the clock. In this, Sky News would be following the example of CNN and Fox News in the United States. Former US State Department Spokesperson James Rubin has also signed with Sky News to present an hour-long evening news show. He is married to CNN's Christiane Amanpour. Sky News has been featured in many blockbuster feature films including 20th Century Fox releases; Independence Day, Mission: Impossible, Behind Enemy Lines, Shaun of the Dead and The Day After Tomorrow. 20th Century Fox is another News Corp. asset.

Shows marked with * are replaced with Sky News Ireland on Irish cable and satellite systems. In addition to the above regular schedule, as of January 2006 Sky News has begun transmitting one-off special reports covering specific issues, with the schedule being altered to allow their inclusion. Most specials last 30 minutes, with the regular programme for that hour being shortened to 30 minutes and the special starting at half past the hour. In the case of longer specials lasting close to an hour, a brief news summary is given on the hour, with the special starting a few minutes after. PerceptionToday Sky News continues to maintain an impressive standard of journalism in the face of tough competition. It is somewhat different to stablemate Fox News, the US sister channel with which it sometimes exchanges material. Sky News at the moment relies more on news rather than Fox News' anchor-based commentary, such as that provided by Bill O'Reilly. During 2003, plans to offer Sky News in the US were under consideration, but have since been dropped allegedly due to pressure from Fox News. Eamonn Holmes and Lorna Dunkley wake up viewers to a brand new look Sky News on Monday, 24 October 2005 at 6am.The station has not been without controversy. In early 1994 Kelvin Mackenzie, former editor of the Sun newspaper, was appointed Managing Director of BSkyB. MacKenzie's proposed changes to Sky News lead to clashes with CEO Sam Chisholm and the head of Sky News, Ian Frykberg, who protested what they saw as an attempt to take its news values downmarket and concentrate on stories that would be more familiar to tabloid newspapers than its rivals at the BBC and ITN. The main problems arose when it became clear that Frykberg, then head of News and Sport at BSkyB, wanted to take Sky News to a wider international audience. Frykberg outlined his intention to open 15 new Sky News bureaux around the world and make the channel a serious alternative to CNN. At the time, he was backed by Rupert Murdoch *[3]. There was also talk of the US CBS network acquiring a stake in Sky News, and the two launching a joint international news channel. Mackenzie, in contrast, wanted the channel to focus on more domestic and 'tabloid' stories. The most ferocious battle occurred when Mackenzie wanted Sky News to run an interview with Lady Bienvenida Buck, exposed by the News of the World as being the mistress of Chief of Defence staff Sir Peter Harding. Frykberg refused to air the interview and resigned shortly afterwards. The interview did not air on Sky News, and was instead shifted to Sky One. MacKenzie announced his resignation in August 1994. A 1993 report on public trust in news outlets ranked Sky News far below the more established TV networks and newspapers. However the station has undoubtedly got past this in its news coverage, to the point of being nominated for International Emmy Awards and a 2004 report listed Sky as second only to the BBC in terms of public trust in British news outlets. Its coverage of the Louise Woodward trial in Boston, US, garnered the channel international attention. Capitalising on the live broadcasts from the courtroom, Sky News covered the trial as-it-happened, with constant live coverage. After days of live courtroom television, Sky attempted to return to a more regular schedule, only to be inundated with complaints by viewers demanding that the trial return to the screens; Sky obliged. They also took the opportunity to rig up a huge television screen in a pub in Woodward's home village of Elton in Cheshire, with 24/7 coverage of the trial in progress. Villagers rallied round the screen, and Sky recorded their reactions to every detail of the trial. The channel came in for further criticism, with many accusing it of maintaining a pro-Louise Woodward stance, even after she was found guilty. At the turn of the millennium, Sky began a process of expanding its international coverage, opening more overseas bureaux in Africa, Europe, the far East, and so on. Its coverage of the war in Kosovo eclipsed long-standing rivals at CNN and the BBC, both of whom could only just muster telephone reports, whilst Sky had live reporters in-vision across the region; for that, it won awards from the Royal Television Society and BAFTA, as well as a nomination for an International Emmy Award. Its coverage of the September 11, 2001 attacks brought more honours, and more recognition from BAFTA and the RTS. During the first week or so of the invasion of Afghanistan, Its US sister station Fox News substituted its late-night repeats of its own programming with a simulcast of Sky News. In 2002/3, its coverage of the Soham Murders in Cambridgeshire gave the channel yet more awards, and the British Academy award for news coverage. Later that year, its (also award-winning) coverage of the Iraq conflict saw it yet again steal a march on its rivals, with US networks CBS and Fox News carrying much of its coverage. Despite increased competition from the BBC, Sky News remains the default news channel for opinion formers in UK. Indeed, recently the BBC Head of News, Peter Horrocks, admitted that it was Sky News that is to be found on the tv screens of all the major UK national newsdesks (as well as a good deal of others across the globe), not the BBC. ReceptionSky News is free-to-air on the satellites carrying the Sky Digital platform. It is also available on Freeview.
