I thought this quote from that Guardian Adam Boulton was interesting and telling.
It will be interesting to see what SkyNews looks like when Comcast/NBC steps into the take over the channel from the management that have changed the voice of the boisterous pacey breaking news channel into a whispery old man. If the channel survives.
Quote:When Rupert Murdoch sold the wider Sky business to the US media conglomerate Comcast in 2018, the new owners promised to fund the prestigious but lossmaking news service for a decade. Boulton, who left the channel last month after serving as editor-at-large, said Comcast had honoured the deal but the channel’s long-term future was unclear: “People are wondering what’s going to happen when the guaranteed funding under the takeover deal expires … the problem with the takeover arrangement was it put Sky News in aspic with the same funding and the same management.”
