Sky News Australia is owned by News Corp Australia. It was originally a joint venture involving British Sky Broadcasting, Seven Media Group, and Nine Entertainment Co., but was fully acquired by News Corp Australia in December 2016. Since then, Sky News Australia has operated independently from its UK counterpart despite sharing the name under a licensing agreement. News Corp Australia is Rupert Murdoch's company, and the channel is known for its conservative opinion-based programming. It is often compared to Murdoch's American Fox News in style and content.
