That Sky Sports felt the need to launch a TikTok channel specifically marketed towards women and billed as its " lil sis " was questionable enough. But once people got a taste of the content on Halo, it was clear the company had absolutely no idea what it was doing. Halo didn't focus on women's sports, nor did it seem to be doing a good job of elevating female voices in a male-dominated business.

In a statement posted on social media on Saturday night, the broadcaster admitted that it "didn't get it right" and that it would be "stopping all activity" on the account. The channel, which was only announced on Thursday, was touted by the broadcaster as an "inclusive, dedicated platform for women to enjoy and explore content from all sports, while amplifying female voices and perspectives."

Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville will not face any disciplinary action after comments he made following the recent Manchester synagogue attack. The former Manchester United defender posted a three-minute video on his social media account last week, insisting that hatred and division in the United Kingdom is being fuelled by 'angry white men'. Neville has been heavily criticised for doing so by members of the public and MPs, with some suggesting he should be sacked by Sky for doing so.

In October 2023, something unusual happened. A Premier League manager pitched up at the Sky Sports studios for the Monday Night Football slot and delivered a detailed masterclass of the tactics he uses.

"He has to come with violence, he's got to be aggressive, he's got to be almost saying to players, 'Come in here, I'm happy to deal with it'."

Sky Sports News is undergoing a major restructuring, anticipating redundancies among its presenters and reporters to become more agile in reaching audiences.
