Sky News becomes available to US and Canada

Sky News is now available in the US and Canada for the first time via Livestation.

Residents in the US and Canada can purchase Sky News via Livestation for $2.99 a month. Livestation gives users access to news broadcasters across the world. The news channel is often used as a main source for reports by Fox News and CBS when covering international stories.
Fox showed live coverage of Sky correspondent Alex Crawford as she broadcast live from a rebel convoy entering Tripoli, Libya last year. Following this she was made an OBE in the New Year’s Honors List.

“This is a great step forward for us. Recently Sky News has increased its global reach to 103 million homes around the world and I am delighted that we are now available in both the United States and Canada as well. The US news agenda is one that we feature heavily on Sky News and I’m thrilled that our world-class international news coverage can now be enjoyed by our viewers there.” – John Ryley, Head of Sky News.

Sky News continues to expand across the world with the launch of Sky News Arabia on 6th May.
