Ive just emailed Sky News to ask about the possibility of showing a live feed of Sky News Australia on Sky News Active. (They did it with Fox News so maybe theres a chance of them showing something ! Maybe even a tape delayed 1 hr bulletin rather than a full blown live feed !)

It'd certainly be interesting to see what Sky News Australia is like (minus all the simulcasts of our version!). Have you received a reply yet?

Sky News Australia ia only partly owned by BSkyB. The rest is owned by the Australia domestic tv networks 7 and 9, and uses a lot of their news facilities. I would imagine they would want to be paid for their content.

So by that logic do you think '7' and '9' pay BSkyB for the SKY NEWS UK content on the Active service in Australia ?

By the way A.J.A - no reply received as yet.....perhaps everyone else interested in seeing SNA on our Active service could email news@sky.com and register their interest ?
