History:
Rupert Murdoch announced, on the 8 June 1998 to the British Academy of Film and Television Arts that he was to provide a new television news service.#
The television news service 'Sky News' was first broadcasted at 6pm on the 5th February 1989.
In the early days the channel operated on a £40 million budget, plus £10 million share of overheads.
By March 1992 Sky had started to see a profit when Murdoch said Sky News, has quietly, if expensively, become the first building block of what we envision will become the premier worldwide electronic news-gathering network anywhere. Ask anyone in Europe, and particularly the BBC and you will be told that Sky News has added a new and better dimension to television journalism.
