Also, there was a time that Comcast wanted to bolster Sky News by creating a joint international news channel with NBC. So it feels this would be a more likely avenue rather that abandonment.
Also, tidying up the international Sky News brands, to me, seems necessary. It would bug the heck out of me having Sky News Australia, Sky News Arabia and TG24 all operating slightly differently and in separately.
I suspect they'd be reluctant to licence the Sky News brand in this country should it go down the GB News / Talk TV route and then reflect poorly on the Sky brand itself.
I'd forgotten about Sky News Arabia - IIRC they had a very nice studio when it began. Are they still in there?
