Broadcasting free to air
We are Europe’s leading pay-TV broadcaster. But some things should be open to everyone. We believe everyone should have access to high-quality journalism that holds power to account and helps people make sense of the way the world is changing. And we believe the arts should be open to everyone. So we share our original news and arts coverage and some live sporting events, free of charge, for everyone to enjoy.
News you can trust
The world has never needed fearless, independent journalism more. We invest to create thoughtful and rigorously-researched 24 hour news that shapes the agenda and helps millions of people to understand what’s changing in our world. In an era of disinformation and distrust, it matters. We broadcast Sky News from the UK and Sky TG24 from Italy, free-to-air and online, for people across the world to watch, free of charge. Sky News has been named ‘News Channel of the Year’ for six years straight, by the Royal Television Society.
