As a regular viewer on YouTube of Australian ABC's "Media Watch," I am very familiar with what Sky News Australia does (and that the ABC, being a government-funded public broadcaster, is one of Sky's favorite targets). It should be mentioned that the Australian Sky is owned by the Murdochs, as is the cable/satellite system that Sky is on (the Sky name comes from when Murdoch owned the European Sky).
I keep thinking that sooner or later the license to use the Sky name is going to run out and Comcast is not going to renew the license. I assume that Murdoch will just rename the channel Fox News Australia.
