HOORAH!
I think it looks a lot better - more modern and more Sky-like - but:
1) HAVE THEY GOT RID OF THE BLOGS?!
2) Prefer having a permalink for the front pages - even if it did changed every day ...
3) the weather URL is a bit weird - site is nice though
4) Strange news on the main menu?!

Today Sky News launches a dedicated homepage for the United States ahead of November’s election. Visitors to skynews.com in the USA will arrive at a bespoke homepage focusing on the latest news tailored to a US audience. Three dedicated digital producers have been hired for this six month pilot project, and will initially be based in New York, Washington and London.

It's just the latest in a long line of UK-based sites that like to pretend that people from across the pond give a shiny sausage about what we think. The Guardian, the Daily Mail and others already have US-facing homepages:
Guardian US : http://www.guardiannews.com/
Daily Heil US : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ushome/index.html
Why is that needed? Sky and Fox are both run by Murdoch, so I'd have expected them to just promote Fox News.
