Sky News Australia, also known as Sky TV Australia, is a privately owned entity headquartered in Australia. A tier 1 media tech buyer and a wholly owned subsidiary of News Corp Australia, the company was established in 1996 and employs approximately 330 individuals. Sky News Australia operates as the commercial broadcasting brand of Australian News Channel Pty Ltd (ANC). The business underwent full corporate integration into the News Corp ecosystem in 2016. The platform functions independently of the British network Sky News (Comcast), utilizing the legacy trademark under licence, and has decoupled direct corporate links with its UK counterpart. As a provider of broadcast television and radio, the network maintains a technical multi-channel presence across traditional Foxtel satellite and pay-television grids while operating a digital-first ecosystem on skynews.com.au and syndicated streaming layers for international programmatic ad-revenue.
