Sky News Apple TV app - discontinued or….?

[mwhite]

Recently, the Sky News Apple TV app has just completely stopped working on my Apple TV HD running tvOS 18.3. You launch the app and just get a blank black screen. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app, and that seemed to work for one day, before it reverted to not working again. I’ve also tried restarting the device, but still have the problem. I then went to the Sky News app page in the app store and noticed that an Apple TV version of the app is no longer listed - only iPhone and iPad versions. The app is still available in the app store on the Apple TV and states that the app is compatible with my device. However, I can’t find any news anywhere about Sky News discontinuing the app, or even anyone else reporting problems running the app. Does anyone else out there use the Sky News Apple TV app? Is it working foe you? Super frustrated by this!

Works for me in Canada but only if I turn off my VPN.

Working fine here on the AppleTV HD, it’s also showing in the store.
UK if that makes a difference.

Not working for me. US
Maybe for US only users??

For what it’s worth, I’m in the US and was able to install and run Sky News. Haven’t tested it over time.

As a backup you might consider Pluto TV that has a Sky News channel. It’s free.

Working fine for me. I'm on Spectrum internet. They're showing that clown tRUmp right now. I'll change to something else.

This exact thing occurred yesterday when I attempted to watch Sky News. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app, rebooted multiple times, no change in results. There was a recent TVOS update and this same issue happened shortly after the previous update.

The Sky News iPad app worked fine.

It was working by evening but obviously there’s an ongoing issue here with no known cause, just conjecture at this point.
