Sky News Australia and NOVA Entertainment have partnered to create a live audio stream of the Sky News television channel called Sky News Radio.

The Nova Player app will integrate network Sky News coverage starting with breakfast presenter Peter Stefanovic from 5:30am, and from 5pm, commentators including Sharri Markson, Peta Credlin, Andrew Bolt, Chris Kenny, Paul Murray and Piers Morgan.

Tim Love, Sky News Australia Head of Digital, said:

“We’re delighted NOVA has come on board as our new audio partner which will enable us to connect with new audiences as they are on the move, and extend the reach of our award-winning news coverage on the biggest issues facing the nation. We look forward to bringing Nova Player listeners our roster of industry-leading journalists and Australia’s best commentators.”

Adam Johnson, NOVA Entertainment’s Chief Growth Officer, said:

 “Sky News Radio is the perfect addition to our Player app line-up, complementing our Nova, Smooth and Star music stations and FIVEaa. We know our audience are hungry for breaking stories, 24/7 rolling news and opinion and now they are able to access all of this with a simple swipe on their device. Sky News will also offer our advertising partners new, highly engaged audience segments to reach through our digital audio platforms.”

Sky News Radio is available to stream on the Nova Player, Smooth Player, Star 104.5 Player and FIVEaa Player, via the sky news website and on the Sky News Australia App.
