‘The Executive Chairman of the Sky News Group, David Rhodes shares his plans for Sky News – and on his years as a senior TV news exec in New York.’
Thanks for flagging that. Fairly dull interview in which he sidestepped a load of questions about himself, what he actually does and his past jobs - including his role in Talk TV and at Fox News. Also had absolutely no real opinion on GB News, Ofcom, Trump etc
Couple of choice bits - said his emphasis on Sky News 'talent' was important because 'people watch people' (are the viewing figures reflecting this?)
Yalda Hakim will soon be hosting a world news podcast with NBC's Richard Engel
He's absolutely confident Sky News will continue beyond 2028 funding commitment because it will be cross-subsidised by other Comcast properties
Incidentally why have they made the Media Show double headed? Classic BBC if it aint broke don't fix it
