Sky News, Australia’s News Channel, continues to build on its reputation as Australia’s undisputed leader in 24-hour television, adding to its already stellar line-up of journalists in 2012.
A central part of the Australian media landscape; SKY NEWS delivers news on the hour every hour and LIVE breaking news whenever it happens.
SKY NEWS announces Nina May joins Leigh Hatcher along with Susanne Latimore and Terry Willesee for FIRST EDITION, Australia’s only breakfast news bulletin on air from 5.30am every day of the year.
Nina May brings a wealth of broadcasting experience, reporting and interviewing skills to FIRST EDITION upon her return from maternity leave.
May said: “The news that happens during those morning hours sets the agenda for the rest of the day. I’m really excited about being a part of breakfast television with its fast pace and constant breaking news.”
Hatcher said: “It’s great to be working with Nina on FIRST EDITION. There’s nothing like our news program on Australian breakfast television.”
SKY NEWS’ commitment to national affairs journalism also sees the launch of NEWSDAY – on-air from 12 midday each weekday with three-and-a-half hours of live rolling news hosted by Ashleigh Gillon in Perth and Celina Edmonds at the SKY NEWS Centre.
Gillon said: “NEWS DAY sets the pace as news breaks. I am excited to make the transition from Canberra to hosting this new Australia-wide program – it’s the first time national television has been anchored from the west coast.”
SKY NEWS is committed to covering the country coast to coast, announcing the opening of its first Darwin bureau in conjunction with NITV (National Indigenous Television). SKY NEWS Northern Territory correspondent, Daniel Bourchier, is an experienced top end reporter.
Unlike others SKY NEWS has also invested in late night news 7 days a week and announces Sharon McKenzie as the new host of an expanded NEWS NIGHT.
SKY NEWS also unveils a fresh approach to Sunday night news on national television with Helen Dalley hosting NATIONAL NEWS SUNDAY.
Dalley, who brings more than two decades of experience to the news desk said: “When it comes to live breaking news there is no better place to be than SKY NEWS. Sundays are always big days for politics and I look forward to bringing together our unrivalled commitment to national affairs, to put it all in context and to look at how the week ahead will unfold.”
Dalley will continue to anchor Late Agenda on Mondays at 8.00pm.
