“News24 will continue to feature our compelling offering of breaking news, sharp analysis, and frank commentary, with the same experienced team and expert voices audiences know and trust. Every night you will still see Australia’s favourite commentators deliver passionate opinions about the biggest stories, and we’ll continue to bring you live breaking news coverage as the place where news is not just analysed, but where it begins,” added the company.
Later this year viewers will also see a refreshed on-air look, relaunched digital products including a new dedicated website and app.
