Sky News is set to launch its first-ever podcast subscription service, Sky News Insider: Podcasts, next month, on 15 June.
The move comes as the network’s podcast audience has grown by 102 per cent in the past year across Apple, YouTube, and Spotify. For £2.99 a month, subscribers will get ad-free episodes, early releases, bonus content, and access to a community forum to interact with hosts.
The new service aims to meet changing audience habits and unlock new revenue streams, while supporting continued investment in high-quality, impartial journalism.
Subscribers will also receive a weekly newsletter, priority access to event tickets, and early access to a new flagship series, Stuff Matters, from economics and data editor Ed Conway.
