Sky News is a 24-hour British domestic and international television news channel that started broadcasting on 16 February 1989 as part of the then four-channel Sky Television service. It was modelled on the US CNN channel and soon gained a reputation for immediacy and innovation that reflected well on BSkyB. The station can now be viewed in the UK, and around Europe and the world. Sky News also provides news for UK local radio stations.
The usual rolling news schedule is supplemented with a number of landmark programmes and news specials. It has a distinctive look and sound and has won many awards over the years. The channel has seven UK and eight foreign offices, and it can call on worldwide News Corp resources.
