Sky can reap the benefits of the de facto closure of the BBC News Channel without having to do anything.I suspect you're right, sadly. I had thought that the closure of News 24 might lead to more viewers and thus more money for Sky News, though. I am sure they're rubbing their hands in glee at Osterley right now.
I’m sure though that they’ll benefit in terms of viewers. I certainly find myself watching Sky a lot more these days when the news channel is simulcasting with World News.
I’d like to think though, that those who work at Sky News won’t be doing cartwheels at the prospect of fewer opportunities in the industry and people many of them will certainly know losing their jobs.
