That will surely still be made for NBC affiliates, so odd to replace US targeted show with one that will likely routinely be covering UK live events. Unless of course Sky News are going to be dropping UK news that won't interest viewers in the US for more global news, because of course that worked well on BBC News.
I imagine the intention here is to provide choice. US audiences already have access to Early Today through over the air television, so simulcasting Sky News Today provides alternative viewing options for those who aren't interested in watching Early Today.
I imagine the intention is to pick up audiences who are interested more in world news, who currently at that time of morning may be watching CNN's simulcast with CNNI Newsroom.
I wouldn't expect any changes to Sky News' output. They haven't changed it in the past when NBC News Now has simulcast Sky.
