News channel wins Breaking News Emmy

UK-based Sky News recently won an international Emmy Award for Breaking News for its coverage of the 7 July 2005 London bombings. Despite facing huge logistical problems following the terrorist attacks, Sky News managed to uphold its reputation for breaking news and analysis. The channel was also awarded 'Best 24-hour News Programme' at this year's Monte Carlo TV Festival. Sky News is broadcast on the DStv bouquet in South Africa.
