Sky News is a privately owned company headquartered in the UK, owned by Sky Group, which is a division of Comcast. Founded in 1989, it employs approximately 700 people. The organization operates as a British free-to-air television news channel and distributes its content via an English-language radio news service and through online channels, specializing in broadcast media production and distribution.
Sky News reported on April 24, 2026, that a Pentagon email concerning the Falklands War has caused sensitivity in Britain, complicating an upcoming royal visit to the US by evoking historical American support issues. Previously, on April 22, a study by UK media monitor NewsCord found that Sky News, alongside the BBC and The Guardian, repeatedly used language, tone, and framing that dehumanized Palestinian casualties in its Gaza war coverage, downplaying Israeli violence through methods such as passive voice and selective reporting compared to Al Jazeera. Earlier the same day, the UK's top cybersecurity official told Sky News that AI models like Mythos are "warning shots" for the UK regarding the danger of powerful AI. This followed Sky News' announcement on April 22 that it would launch *The Cathy Newman Show* on April 27, a new flagship evening programme fronted by Cathy Newman, airing from 7pm Monday to Thursday across its broadcast and digital platforms as part of a push for a more personality-led, multi-platform news offer.
