Will prime news still exist or will they change the name to Newshub on Prime?

Sky should dump this bulletin, there will be enough rolling News bulletins on Air next year.

I hope discovery will still be doing it

@TVGeekNZ @Michael_Eccles That’s because Sky has a relationship with Discovery (which owns and produces not only Newshub but Prime News).

Did they re-sign the agreement?

Why should they? It’s been on air for 17 years and they’ve already built a loyal following and it’s probably one of their only top rating shows.

Prime as a network is just a sampler of what’s on Sky to try encourage people to join Sky.

I like it too, I like the emphasis on “before the rest” as a point of different to the big outlets. Could they please update the set with an actual set.
