WIN TV will be carrying Sky News on a free to air 24 hour news channel in their regional markets. I'm not sure how broadcasting the opinions of inner city elites is worthy of a regional broadcaster but this will certainly set the cat among the pigeons. I guess regional Australia is conservative heartland, though.
I have a feeling this might be just what it takes to get Labor on board striking out the media reach rule to allow the big networks to buy out the like of WIN, PRIME, and Southern Cross if it means getting assurances Sky News wont get their own channel on free to air.
