SkyNews.com, formerly Sky.com News, was a nightly television news programme broadcast from 7-7.30pm weekdays on Sky News in the United Kingdom. It was the first British news programme to be solely dedicated to Internet led news[citation needed] and was hosted by Martin Stanford. The show has now been cancelled, the last edition aired on 10 September 2010.[1] The slot has been replaced with a one hour edition of Jeff Randall Live, which previously aired after SkyNews.com at 7.30pm.[2]
History
The programme was launched in October 2007, and focuses on the popular news stories on the Sky News website, as well as the Internet as a whole. In February 2008, Sky.com News won a Royal Television Society award for its innovative approach to news and for letting "the public rather than the news editor set the agenda.”[3] The programme is streamed live through the Sky News website, and whilst the television audience goes to a commercial break Martin gives the online audience additional content.[citation needed]
On 8 September 2008, Sky.com News became SkyNews.com (in line with a web address change for Sky News, which has since been superseded by news.sky.com) and moved to the 7pm slot each weekday, running until 7.30pm. The show previously ran from 7.30-8pm Tuesday to Friday.
On 1 September 2010, Martin Stanford announced via his Twitter page that the show had been axed and would cease broadcasting on Friday 10 September.[4]
