Not sure about Sky News, but I've heard changes to Sky Sports News are coming up so anything is possible.

Considering it's all over the breakfast shows the next morning I don't think it has much value being held back exclusively, so a few thousand watching overnight on Sky News isn't going to make much difference.

SSN often ended up in whatever studio facility was previously used by Sky News.

I worked at Sky during the previous move and can confirm that the soon-to-be-demolished Sky News building was originally commissioned for Sky Sports. The only reason Sky News took ownership of it was because of an infamous site tour by some senior execs from the US. Upon seeing how appalling conditions were at the old Sky News studio, a top-level decision was made to give the new facilities to Sky News. It gives you some sense of where we are right now. Much of the investment and big thinking comes from those people not on the ground at Sky. The middle management based in Isleworth then tends to over-ride it and play safe by investing in the divisions that return big bucks - like Sky Sports.

You saying that reminded that that there was talk around the time of the 2005 move that SSN were to move in to Sky News' old building. I don't know if that happened, but there is a really interesting post on the old forum that talked about what I outlined:
