The WIN Network has quietly axed its evening regional current-affairs program, Sky News Across Australia after one year on-air.

Hosted by Queensland based journalist Peter Gleeson, the 1-hour nightly program Sky News Across Australia was the rural broadcasters attempt to connect with its viewers byexploring “the big issues facing communities outside of the big capital cities.”

A spokesperson for Sky News confirmed the cancellation of the program telling TV Blackbox;

“Sky News Across Australia with Peter Gleeson won’t be returning in 2021. Peter Gleeson continues to anchor The Front Page 11pm Monday – Thursday which is broadcast on Sky News on WIN and Sky News on Foxtel.”

TV Blackbox understands the decision not to continue with the nightly discussion program was in part due to the decline in WIN’s advertising revenue due to COVID.

Sky News Across Australia with Peter Gleeson launched in January 2020 on the Sky News On WIN channel which is broadcast on WIN Network across regional Australia.

The program proved to be immediately unpopular with some viewers due to the decision to air it in a 7pm timeslot previously occupied by right-wing commentator Andrew Bolt.

TV Blackbox understands despite the axing of the Peter Gleeson program, Andrew Bolt will not be returning to 7pm on the Sky News On WIN channel any time soon.

Sky News On WIN will now air Fox Sports News programming in the 7pm timeslot, while The Bolt Report will remain as a ‘premium’ offering for Foxtel subscribers.

  1. Thank God. All of Sky media in Australia should be axed. The Misinformation Disinformation and Outright Lies are just too hard to swallow. Sky must really think us Aussies are as Dimm-witted as most of the American Viewers. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
