Sky News is a British free-to-air television news channel, live stream news network and news organisation. Sky News is distributed via an English-language radio news service, and through online channels. It is owned by Sky Group, a division of Comcast. In 2024, Sky News was named Royal Television Society News Channel of the Year, the 17th time it has held the award and the channel's 7th consecutive win. The channel and its live streaming world news is available on its Web site.

Doesn't sound bad, all the NBC channels are owned by Comcast. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/sky-news/

It sounds like a cost cutting decision.
