As from today users of the satellite giant's website can download Sky News video directly to their iPod or multimedia player.
The new service - Sky News video podcasting - can be accessed via the Sky News website (,www.sky.com/news) and is launching with 7 Days, which takes a look at the week's lighter stories.
Steve Bennedik, editor, Sky News Interactive, said: "The launch of Sky News video podcasting follows the success of Sky Mobile TV in October last year and the new Sky by broadband service today and is part of Sky's drive to give customers flexible and convenient ways to watch its services.
