It looks so blurry you can hardly see the sportsline presenterâs face.
Nine has now changed its stance on selling itâs stake in Sky News and is now prepared to sell if they get a âtrailing content feeâ. Negotiations are on hold at during the Olympics, says The Australian.

Wheres the news at on this channel? I see none. Maybe its about time they just started calling it Australian Agenda.
Nothing worse than having to old men sitting awkwardly on hideous computer chairs not even proper stalls, not even properly positioned with desk in frame. Useless.
And if Sky is guna have every set full of vertical screens atleast properly align the camera with them and have the guest/presenter directly in the middle. Idk if that makes sense but big ocd for mem same goes for main screens with desk. AND STOP USING SHITY LOOPS FOR BACKGROUND YOU FOUND ON STOCK IMAGERY WEBSITESC FOR YOUR PROGRAMMES. And dont make your own. So ugly. All of it.
Rant over.

Nine and Sky UK are understood to have agreed to sell their stakes in Sky News with Seven and News Corp expected to emerge with 50% each in a joint venture, The Australian is reporting. A deal is expected soon.
Bring on Twenty Four/7
I wonder if Nine and Sky UK are planning their own news channel for Foxtel, or will Sky UK stop broadcasting on Foxtel altogether?
The worst commercial TV news service and the worst print/online news outlet coming together for a new/relaunched 24 hour news channel. That sounds absolutely fantasticâŚNOT!
Somehow I think that we would be more likely to see Nine launch itâs own news channel (Side note: if a âNine News Channelâ were to ever launch, Iâd probably watch it all the time!) rather than teaming up with Sky UK for one. And they would probably put it on free to air as well as Foxtel.
With this resent news, we might even see Sky News on free to air soon.

Putting aside what people think about Seven & particularly News Corp, the joint venture would without a doubt make Sky News (or whatever itâs called) a much better product than what it currently is.
I discussed this in a post before (not sure whether it was here or on the old forum) but there would be benefits for both organizations. Skyâs reporting capabilities will immediately be boosted by being able to utilize Seven News reporters for stories instead of having to rely upon the one or two reporters they have in each state/territory. As for Seven, there would be cross-promotional opportunities to have some of Skyâs reporters like David Speers and pundits (again putting aside what you think about their political leanings) appear and contribute to programs like Sunrise.

They already use them
Isnât that just limited to running reports they file for the bulletins though?
Probably not. Sevenâs spectrum is already pretty full up and they donât seem keen on using MPEG-4 for SD channels yet.

Ah okay, but I still think this is unlikely. Seven reporters already have a lot of news bulletins to front on Seven across the day. I doubt Seven would be willing to spend $$$ on more resources just to appease Sky. They barely spend $$$ on their own product.

Seven News/Sunrise reporter Sophie Hull was reading news updates on Sky News last night (Wednesday 14th) before Paul Murray Live. Paul said âwelcome to Sky Newsâ so wondering if the move is permanent?
Iâm currently in Singapore and Sky News UK via Singtelâs Mio TV looks fantastic in crystal clear HD, much better than how Sky News Australia currently broadcast Sky UK.
