Sky News Cancels Business Show; Part of Digital Shift
Imagine a TV channel called Sky News that has a special show about business called 'Business Live.'
Sky News is changing things up.
They're stopping the 'Business Live' show as part of their new plan for the future.
This show used to be called 'Ian King Live'.
Sky News will still have business news, just in different shows and online.
The boss of Sky News said thanks to the people who worked on 'Business Live.'
