SKY NEWS
With the Labor leadership in the spotlight SKY News has confirmed its status as the network to turn to for unrivalled Live coverage of Breaking News.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard chose SKY News Political Editor David Speers to confirm exclusively that she would call for a spill of the Labor leadership.
SKY News was also the first on television to announce that Kevin Rudd’s supporters were circulating a ballot to oust the Prime Minister.
As soon as the news broke, SKY News immediately began non-stop coverage led by the award winning SKY News Political team in Canberra and joined by Graham Richardson, Peter Van Onselen and Chris Kenny.
The coverage will continue tonight with the most comprehensive and dynamic coverage of the ballot and its result.
At 9pm Paul Murray Live will extend into two hours as Paul and his panel look at every moment of today’s political upheaval within the Labor party.
Following at 11pm; a special edition of NewsNight with SKY NEWS International Editor Stan Grant.

@daredevil – “… i know channel seven have good coverage …”
I think your experience belies that statement. I recommend that you make a note to switch to ABC News 24 next time something important occurs.
I was disappointed with sevens coverage of Kevin Rudd’s speech. I recorded it last night because i know channel seven have good coverage and i was watching it back this morning, and noticed that they did not cover all of Kevin Rudd’s speech it was cut off, i expected to watch the full speech, and now i do not know where to go to watch the full speech. Very disappointed.
I just want to send my appreciation to all those that had to bring us the news tonight. I’ll just admit I was watching ABC News 24 and occasionally flicked over to the main ABC channel. Although I had to go out. But what I saw is the type of thing I love. People bringing us the news as accurately as they could manage it and soon as they possibly could. This is the type of thing I want to see on the news. I don’t mean the political drama but actual news. Nothing but the news. Loved it. Thank you very much.
ABC did a great job, as expected!
What a shocker – getting Rudd back!
Bet he’ll be back to showing his true colours quick smart.
Vale Julia.
Nice to see someone can actually spell speech. David, did ABC News stuff up Rudd and Abbotts press conference?
I’m blaming Rudd. For Queensland winning.
When the milky bar Kidd started his speach I flicked between channels this was the result
Abc speach
Seven speach
Ten speach
Sky news speach
Nine a repeat of the Big Bang theory so much for first on nine more like pathetic coverage on nine
as always, abc had the best coverage. I don’t think any other FTA network showed Julia’s concession speech live. Of course the number one show tonight will be Origin. Hope ABC News 24 reap tje rewards for theor coverage.
I just discovered the end of Adam Hills on ABC 2 when I went to check that “I’m having their baby” was coming up next. Not much good to me as I have been taping it on ABC 1 since 8.30, even extending the taping time in case it started late. Even now the on screen guide is showing the normal schedule. Surely someone should be keeping it updated. How on earth are we supposed to guess that a program has not just changed timeslot but also changed channel!
Rating are not going to be fun to determine based on the late changes to programming and state based start/end times.
I switched over to sky news just after 7 because I knew they would have excellent coverage which they did
God, what a mess – that goes for both the politics and the Tv schedule tonight!
Worst news ever! Mr Sheen has been voted back in!!
Adam Hills Tonight just started on ABC2 at 9.30pm.
Thankyou for the change in time slots update.
As long as wimbledon is still on at 8:30 on 7two thats all I care about.
Bad move by Seven Melbourne. Switches to Home & Away at 7:30 with spill coverage on 7TWO. You have these the wrong way around!
Now Nine has moved coverage to GEM over Origin on Nine, gawd.
I was wondering why i’m watching the project and not 10 news Perth. Ten news would have done a much better job from the news desk!
Well 7 can’t afford to have a triple episode of Home and Away as that would affect House Rules 8pm start time and ratings!
So a triple next Thurs or an extra double?
Dad’s complaining the printed guide is not up-to-date 😉
Get him to talk to Conroy.
Project begins 6:30 but TEN News updated.
william on ten facebook say The Project will be covering Live the leadership spill in a 90-minute special!
Tune in from 6:30pm AEST, 6:00pm ACST and 4:30pm AWST.
I think Ten are broadcasting an extended version of The Project from 6-7.30pm
