Exclusive: departure of John Ryley, who has been in charge of Sky News since 2006, expected to be announced on Monday
is set to quit after 16 years in the job, as the news outlet faces up to long-term challenges in adapting to a post-television future., taking over at a time when the outlet was almost entirely focused on producing its flagship live television channel. Under his leadership, Sky News has transformed itself into a multimedia operation with a large online audience, although it continues to spend a substantial proportion of its budget on its traditional broadcasting.
Taken together, the announcements suggest Sky bosses are gearing up for a future where the television channel is less of a focus for the news operation. Its evening shows are often beaten in the ratings by heavily opinionated content on rightwing channel GB News, although it has been largely untroubled by the other upstart UK news channel, talkTV.
