I thought that turned into NBC News Now? They use Sky News resources and say “with our NBC & Sky teams” in promos.

NBC News Now is a streaming service. It seems NBC Sky World News was going to be a broadcast service equal to CNN or Sky News.
Ah yes gotcha. Only a new watcher of NBC News Now!

Yeah looks like they have a few problems to deal with now.
From the article:
Staff at NBC Sky World News were told on Wednesday that the launch would not go ahead, leaving round 60 employees looking for jobs. Some journalists had left jobs elsewhere during the pandemic to join the startup, while others are concerned about their legal status after moving to the UK on visas tied to their employment at the station.
Others described substantial spending, with a large studio having been set up at Sky News’ campus in Osterley, west London.

More of something different: 1010 WINS is New York’s first and most successful all-news station. It takes no programmed network bulletins (just special ones) and runs on a 20-minute clock with headlines and Traffic on the 1’s to start each cycle.
In 2010, the station boosted its presentation package with music from Austria’s Foster Kent. It also adopted its production playout system that slots in elements on the beat.
The theme got an update in 2017.

Oh god that logo and the name. WINS?
I guess there is some heritage behind it?

It was bought by Hearst in 1930s and renamed WINS (it was WGBS before), and it stands for International News Service.
Having listened to this in more than my fair share of Ubers and taxis, and it’s more like a rolling headline service. And it’s chock full of ads.
