Editorial signature

Owned by Comcast since the 2018 takeover that ended Murdoch family control, Sky News runs a 24-hour rolling-news channel built around Kay Burley's breakfast slot, Beth Rigby's Westminster reporting and the Sophy Ridge politics hour. The newsroom has been Ofcom-regulated on impartiality since its founding and is editorially separated from sister title The Sun, a distinction that became contentious during the phone-hacking scandal and again during the BSkyB bid process.
