Timesonline has started broadcasting video news packages supplied by Sky News on its TV service.

Times TV already carries video news from Fox News and Reuters but this is the first time that it has carried news from the UK-based 24-hour news channel.

The Times simultaneously launched its online TV service and an e-magazine in June, this year.

That move followed hot on the heels of an announcement by Channel 4 that it was to offer an online radio service.

Viewers are now able to watch Sky News headlines, show business new and weather video clips on the Times TV player.
