 Sky News and Sky Sports News merged? - TV News Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
well SSN are a sports news channel so they;re supposed to cover this sort of thing, whereas I can't help thinking that Sky News have been downright lazy this summer in having football dominate their running order - there's far too much sport on that channel.
I understand the occasional commercialism vs. news dilemma though and I'm sure a lot of other news media organisations share it, it's just a shame that Sky News feels the need to go so big on this when SSN is available for those who have more than a passing interest in the story.
Sky News is all about audience figures which, not surprisingly, are said to be dropping.

Sky's blurb says that Sky News is available without subscription and I've seen that you can get Sky Sports News on Freeview.
Nothing to do with contracts, Sky run the platform on satellite and operate three of the four slots on the National Grid Wireless multiplex Sky Sports News broadcasts on, as Sky is part of the Freeview consortium, and is therefore entitled to space on the Freeview platform for free-to-view channels.
They generally only cover Sports that Sky have the rights to, so it is basically SSN is one big advertisement for the Sky Sports subscription service.

 FSW Canada - Now No Sky Sports News - What's Next? - BigSoccer
The main thing I liked about SSN was its coverage and highlights of England's lower leagues.
The bad things about SSN are its lack of Premier League highlights and its constant droning about the most miniscule happenings at Chelsea and Man U. But as long as Crystal Palace are in the Premiership, then I don't have much need for Sky Sports News.
I think adding a bit of coverage of the Championship (I really think that's a silly name, but that's a topic for another day) to the FSW shows would be good.
