NBC Sky World News was a proposed international news channel.[1][2] It would have been owned by NBCUniversal and Sky Group, both divisions of Comcast. The service was also planned for it to be available on Peacock in the United States.
Plans for the launch – initially scheduled for summer 2020[3] – were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.[4] In August 2020, the proposed service was scrapped, resulting in layoffs of 60 employees.[5][6]
NBC has subsequently allowed its free streaming service NBC News Now to be seen internationally. The service is streamed live on YouTube internationally, Peacock streaming service in the USA and Canada, and on Sky TV and Virgin Media in the UK.[7]
