The Australian is reporting Sky News Regional will launch on August 1 with a revamped live morning news service. Sky News Breakfast will air for three hours from 6am replacing Headline News. Jaynie Seal and Samantha Chiari remain as hosts.
The Bolt Report will air at 7pm replacing AFL Tonight and NRL Tonight. Regional viewers will now see all two hours of Paul Murray Live from 9pm. Sky News on WIN only broadcast the first hour.

Murray will have to tone down the content of PML I assume.

Why canât they just air First Edition?
I think First Edition has reports from Nine and Seven which theyâre probably not allowed to air.

Interesting that the 2nd hour of Murray and Bolt all of a sudden appear with Sky News Regional (although Bolt initially did air on SNOW), everyone thought Sky wanted to keep them for paying viewers.
So either Sky had to sweeten the schedule to get SCA to agree (unlikely I think) or WIN (SNOWâs programmer) preferred to air the other content instead.

I donât think thatâs the case anymore is it?
What about all the othe daytime rolling news programming and news night then?
Surely it would be cheaper to remove any seven and nine clips from first edition than produce a separate 3 hour programme
Option for local content points?
What local content do they have? From memory âheadline newsâ never featured any local
Or regional news headlines or content - it was all nationally focused
Also interesting the branding
âSky News Breakfastâ will now take on âABC News Breakfastâ
In half the country
Getting the âSkyâ brand and the âBreakfastâ in there is much stronger branding than âfirst Editionâ which sounds so 80s
âSky News Breakfastâ is much stronger and memorable positioning. Maybe it will merge with First Edition eventually. That brand needs to be retired

Donât know why, sounds fine to me, except of course there is no second edition, but then again, they mean first of the day.
In regional Australia. Thatâs not even close to half the country

Sorry youâre right - itâs about a third of the country (30%) not half
Also, not broadcast in NNSW?
Yes it will be, through WIN.
WINâs fully-owned Ten markets, not joint ventures.

According to the schedule SCA has posted, it seems like Sky News Regional will show more Sky News programming than SNOW has with the only pre-emptions being Sky News Breakfast airing instead of First Edition and Fox Sports News replacing the first hour of AM Agenda (9am - 10am AEST) and The Kenny Report (5pm - 6pm AEST).

Strange that SCA is not launching Sky News Regional on its Seven-affiliated stations in Tasmania, Darwin, Spencer Gulf/Broken Hill, Central Australia and VAST. You would think they would put it on there as the Seven stations are the âjewel in the crownâ for SCA television, and Sky wants to reach these viewers. Viewers in Tasmania and Mildura will lose access to Sky News Regional from August 1.

This has to be just taking money from News Corp to prop up the financially troubled (10) affiliates.
7 Tasmania isnât troubled, so why lose a 7 multichannel for Sky/Fox News Australia?
News Corp may have baulked at how much SCA wouldâve priced a full channel there.

7 Tasmania/Darwin/Central/GTS/BKN does not carry 7flix. There is room in these multiplexes for Sky News. Or maybe there is a clause in SCAâs contract with Seven that they are not allowed to carry Sky News Regional on these stations (similar to WINâs new contract with Nine).
