Sky News Australia Audience Study MEDIA RELEASE: Monday July 19, 2021 REAL NEWS, HONEST VIEWS. SKY NEWS AUSTRALIA AUDIENCE STUDY Understanding the dynamic relationship Australians have with news and the role of Sky News Australia skynews.com.au/audiencestudy Sky News today released the findings of its 2021 Sky News Australia Audience Study which asked consumers** about their news preferences and habits, revealing more than 9.1 million Australians engage with Sky News each month. Throughout the global COVID-19 pandemic the appetite for news has skyrocketed as Australians sought out credible and accurate information from trusted sources. The Sky News Australia Audience Study examined the news habits of Australians and the role of Sky News Australia, to learn which sources they turn to for news and from what selection of platforms across television, radio, podcasts, newspapers, online sites, news search, digital video, and social media. As Sky News Australia celebrates its 25th year, the news service is delivering a significant and growing audience across its platforms, holding the #1 news brand position on the two largest social media platforms Facebook and YouTube, and the #1 channel position on Foxtel in 2020.i This study sought to better understand Sky News’ growing contribution and position within the overall Australian news landscape. Paul Whittaker, Chief Executive, Sky News Australia said: “As Sky News Australia marks its 25th year, the audience study provided an opportunity to delve into the Australian news market and really get to know our audience, to understand how they access our news platforms and what’s really important to them when searching for reliable, accurate and balanced news sources.” The key findings include: • Sky News reaches one third of all Australians every month. Sky News reaches a monthly unique audience of 9.1 million Australians, and on average, each month they access Sky News on two platforms. • More than one quarter (26 percent) of all people engaging with Sky News are doing so via the Foxtel platform, and 74 percent of people are engaging with Sky News content across other platforms from its digital network such as SkyNews.com.au and on Sky News Australia’s YouTube channel. • Sky News has the most active and engaged digital audience in Australia. Of those who consider Sky News to be their main source of news, Sky News leads the pack in digital engagement outperforming key competitors with viewers accessing SkyNews.com.au (78 percent), Sky News YouTube (54 percent), and Sky News Facebook (40 percent). • The average Sky News viewer age is 46 years old across all its platforms, which is driven by younger audiences accessing digital platforms more frequently than older viewers. Paul Whittaker continued: “This research shows Australians are accessing their news from a wide variety of sources across a wide variety of media and the use of digital platforms is growing as generations consume news differently. Sky News is meeting the need for each generation across all platforms and it’s evident that investment in our digital strategy and our exclusive news, commentary and analysis content is resonating with more Australians than ever before.” In addition, the report found Sky News viewers have a higher propensity to purchase across all key categories compared with non-Sky News viewers, and are more receptive to advertising: • Sky News main viewers are significantly over-indexing for purchase consideration across all categories including financial services, banking, automotive and household goods. • Sky News main viewers are a more responsive audience for advertisers; of Sky News viewers 51 percent actively support program sponsors, and 36 percent state they take more notice of advertising while watching Sky News. Sky News Australia Commercial Director Cathryn Adams said: “A key purpose of this study is to quantify and understand the value and benefit for our partners in producing cross-platform integrated content partnerships. “By being integrated within programming like The Alliance, Paul Murray Live Our Town, Business Weekend or Racing Dreams, our partners are accessing a much broader audience than the original TV broadcast - and reaching, younger, highly engaged Australians who are passionate about Sky News Australia and actively support sponsors.” Hoop Group Director Liz Farquharson said: “In looking at the reach numbers, it’s clear the multiple platform strategy by Sky News is behind the delivery of its ability to reach an impressive 9.1m Australians per month”. “The suite of Sky News platforms meets the needs of the evolving news consumer and in turn has grown total engagement with the category.” “The scale of the study has allowed us to profile the unique characteristics of a highly motivated Sky News viewer and define the opportunities for advertisers for a more targeted approach.” For more information and further research findings visit www.skynews.com.au/audiencestudy ** Sky News Australia commissioned Hoop Research Group to conduct a large-scale Audience Study. The national survey consisted of n=6965 Australians aged 18-75. Age, gender and region quotas were applied to the sample and all final data was weighted to reflect the latest ABS population estimates as well as presence of Foxtel. The findings in this document are the result of a survey conducted by Hoop Group across April/May 2021 where the survey was used to fill gaps in actual currency data for the same period, and provide the basis for deduplication calculations. Final reach figures validated by Audience Research. Contents of this report may be reproduced provided appropriate credit is given to the source. Sky News Australia Audience Study, Hoop Group 2021.

  • Media Ownership Chart
    In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist" for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly . In his 4th edition, published in 1992, he wrote "in the U.S., fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures own and operate 90% of the mass media" -- controlling almost all of America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies. He predicted then that eventually this number would fall to about half a dozen companies. This was greeted with skepticism at the time. When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen to six. Since then, there have been more mergers and the scope has expanded to include new media like the Internet market. More than 1 in 4 Internet users in the U.S. now log in with AOL Time-Warner, the world's largest media corporation. In 2004, Bagdikian's revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly , shows that only 5 huge corporations -- Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -- now control most of the media industry in the U.S. General Electric's NBC is a close sixth.

  • First Century Fox Inc and Sky Plc; European Intervention Notice
    Rt Hon Karen Bradley Secretary of State for Digital Culture Media and Sport July 14 2017 Dear Secretary of State Twenty-First Century Fox Inc and Sky plc; European Intervention Notice The Campaign for Press and Broadcasting is responding to your request for new submissions on the test of commitment to broadcasting standards. We are pleased to submit this short supplement to the submission we provided for Ofcom in March. As requested, the information is up-to-date, but we are adding an appeal to you to reconsider Ofcom’s recommendation to accept the 21CF bid on this ground, which we find wholly unconvincing in the light of the evidence we submitted. SKY NEWS IN AUSTRALIA In a pre-echo of the current buyout bid in the UK, Sky News Australia, previously jointly- owned with other media owners, became wholly owned by the Murdochs on December 1 last year. When the CPBF made its submission on the Commitment to Broadcasting Standards EIN to Ofcom in March there were three months of operation by which to judge the direction of the channel, but now there are three months more. A number of commentaries have been published. The Murdoch entity that controls Sky Australia is News Corporation rather than 21FC but the service is clearly following the Fox formula about which the CPBF commented to Ofcom. Indeed it is taking the model of broadcasting high-octane right-wing political commentary in peak viewing times even further. While Fox News has three continuous hours of talk shows on weekday evenings, Sky News Australia has five.

  • Challenging ESPN: How Fox Sports Can Play in ESPN's Arena
    Challenging ESPN: How Fox Sports can play in ESPN’s Arena Kristopher M. Gundersen May 1, 2014 Professor Richard Linowes – Kogod School of Business University Honors Spring 2014 Gundersen 1 Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship ESPN has with the sports broadcasting industry. The study focuses on future prospects for the industry in relation to ESPN and its most prominent rival Fox Sports. It introduces significant players in the market aside from ESPN and Fox Sports and goes on to analyze the current industry conditions in the United States and abroad. To explore the future conditions for the market, the main method used was a SWOT analysis juxtaposing ESPN and Fox Sports. Ultimately, the study found that ESPN is primed to maintain its monopoly on the market for many years to come but Fox Sports is positioned well to compete with the industry behemoth down the road. In order to position itself alongside ESPN as a sports broadcasting power, Fox Sports needs to adjust its time horizon, improve its bids for broadcast rights, focus on the personalities of its shows, and partner with current popular athletes. Additionally, because Fox Sports has such a strong regional persona and presence outside of sports, it should leverage the relationship it has with those viewers to power its national network. Gundersen 2 Introduction The world of sports is a fast-paced and exciting one that attracts fanatics from all over. They are attracted to specific sports as a whole, teams within a sport, and traditions that go along with each sport.
