News24

News24 is an Australian conservative news channel owned by News Corp Australia. Originally launched on 19 February 1996, it broadcasts rolling news coverage throughout the day, while its prime time lineup is dedicated to opinion-based programs featuring a line-up of conservative commentators. News24 is distributed on pay television in Australia and New Zealand, while a free-to-air version of the service, News24 Regional is distributed on digital terrestrial television by Network Ten Pty Ltd and selected WIN Television stations. The channel also operates two spin-off services, News24 Weather and world service News24 World. The channel was originally launched as Sky News Australia, a joint venture between British broadcaster BSkyB, Seven Network Limited, and Publishing and Broadcasting Limited, as Australian News Channel. The company was acquired by News Corp Australia in 2016. With the subsequent sale of Murdoch's remaining shares in Sky UK to Comcast, Sky News Australia no longer had any direct ties to its UK counterpart, but continued to use the Sky News branding under licence from Sky UK until 27 July 2026, when it rebranded as News24.
