Why Jude Bellingham's move to Real Madrid paid off for Liverpool By MIKE KEEGAN Published: 08:37, 30 April 2025 | Updated: 08:38, 30 April 2025 e-mail View comments Sky Sports News is set to make a number of well-known faces redundant as part of a transformation of the channel. The broadcaster broke the news to shocked staff on Tuesday afternoon at their London headquarters. Insiders have insisted that the move is not a cost-cutting measure while a spokesperson said it was aimed at ‘making us more agile and better equipped to serve audiences’.

It is thought a number of well-established reporters and presenters are to go. The restructuring from the US-owned company has not been taken lightly, according to sources. The priority, among bosses, is to ensure that the department adapts to meet the changing behaviours of audiences and is ‘faster, more flexible and more creative’.



They insist that Sky Sports News, which is the UK’s only 24/7 sports news channel, will continue to focus on breaking news stories and that output will not be significantly altered. The redundancies are limited to presenters and reporters.
