  1. A-PAC is currently relegated to the red button multiview service, with the Sky News Election Channel on 648. Does that mean A-PAC is returning in December in time for the awards? The good thing about that channel was it offered catch up of Sky News shows as well as simulcasts of US ABC Evening News and Sky UK. I suppose it can’t be an election channel forever.
