Rupert Murdoch's Italian satellite TV service has confirmed it will launch a 24-hour news channel drawing on the success of Sky News in the UK and Fox News in the US. Sky Italia, which is 80 per cent-owned by Murdoch's News Corporation, said the channel, to be called SkyTG24, will go on air later this summer.

The channel will share some resources with Sky News and Fox News and will run Italian and international news and a talk show, Sky Italia said.
