Sky News?
Didn’t they just send out a presser saying they have rebranded as Sky News Live? Now 4 days later – they are back to Sky News?
They don’t even know what their own network is called.
And they have been talking up Australia Channel for months – a new internet channel to reach ex-pats – Aussies still interested in Aussie coverage who now live OS.
Wouldn’t Australia day have been the Perfect day for Australia Channel to go live?
This network….
I asked about this point. Apparently when it pertains to their suite of channels it is still SKY News. The individual channel is SKY News Live. But how many of us referred to it as SKY News National anyway?
