Examples please? The memories I have of OBs done by other networks in recent years have involved either places like RSLs, or major events/disasters.
I’d argue the ‘real Australians’ are the ones that shows like Sunrise feature in their weather segments. Normal people doing normal things.
Crown Casino.
I’ve removed the last two posts - the personal attacks have to stop, not only are they are inappropriate and hurtful, they are also against our rules.
I appreciate that Sky (especially “After Dark”) is not everyone’s cup of tea (this includes myself) but that is not a reason nor an excuse to dispense with reasonable discourse when discussing the channel and its presenters.
Has anyone had trouble getting SKY News in hotels? I’ve found many are cancelling their Foxtel subscriptions
Sanity prevails.
I can understand in regards to SKY, it’s not straight journalism, though I believe people should have a choice, that’s democracy. Atleast give us CNN, what about those from overseas or for the children, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.
Unnecessary these days because anyone can stream Sky News live for free via an app on their phone.
Nah, I disagree. Good MATV systems in hotels should still be a thing for a long time yet, especially when most hotel TV’s are too dumb to cast to or contain any usable apps.
Ask them to put an appropriate antenna on the roof to pickup Sky News on WIN.
Are you talking about through Foxtel Go? If so, pretty sure you can’t do that anymore since the app requires you to now login from the outset
No. The Sky News Australia app on Apple Store and Google Play store. You can Live Stream Sky News Australia. Also on their website skynews.com.au.
The various Sky News Australia apps aren’t live streaming the actual Sky News channel. Ordinarily, it’s three streams branded as Sky News Extra 1,2,3 which are just playlists of random encores with no actual live content. And with no TV guides for them you have no idea when a show is on or how long it’s been on for.
However, they did begin livestreaming Sky News COVID-19 in place of Sky News Extra 1 earlier this year, but this still isn’t the actual Sky News service with encores aplenty overnight and strictly COVID-19 related news during the day.
The Australia Channel app does exactly what you are thinking - offers a 24/7 live stream of Sky News Australia. But, you have a subscription fee to pay and it’s not available in Australia.
Foxtel increased the cost of a number of their commercial plans some time ago
I’ve come to the conclusion that the only useful thing about Alan Jones’ show is that HYBPA is able to take bits and pieces of the show and take the piss out of it.
Spent so much time making sure they spelt the medicine correctly, they ballsed up the easy part.
Commenting here so that the Studio 10 thread didn’t go off-topic.
It’s always surprised me that Sky have never tried to launch a Morning Joe-type political breakfast program considering how politically-dominated the channel is
Agree. The breakfast slot is rife for development. Their rolling news fo
You make a good point.
Perhaps we’ll see it 2021? Move Pete Stefanovic to afternoons/specials and Laura back into political team or dayside.
Who could host with Joe?
I’d actually watch joe in the mornings. With a female sidekick that disagrees with him a lot
A good format
(And I actually don’t like him on studio 10, but I find him entertaining)
