Sky has begun streaming its Sky News channel 24 hours a day, seven days a week for free online.

It is available to non-Sky subscribers without the need for a login on its website www.skynews.com.

The site's new home page now features a tab on the main-story ‘carousel’ offering Sky News online live and as it appears on TV in addition to the existing menu of breaking news stories, blogs and weather.

The site has also launched a new, higher bit-rate video player which includes suggestions of related video in-stream as you watch and offers more clips to view at the end of each play.

Julian March, senior executive producer for Sky News online said: "With Sky News now available on more platforms than ever – on TV, online, on mobiles, through iphone and ipod touch apps, at train stations and on planes – there's barely a screen in Britain now where you can't access Sky News."

The live streaming is only available in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
