History
Australian News Channel announced it was to launch a business news channel in 2008 with one third of content to be taken from Fox Business Network in the United States. In turn, Fox Business airs coverage from Sky News Business Channel during holiday periods and critical financial stories breaking in the overnights and on weekends in order to continue providing current financial news coverage to American audiences.
Sky News Business Channel began 16:9 widescreen broadcasting along with sister channels Sky News Australia and A-PAC on Sunday, 17 May 2009. The channel implemented new graphics and music, mirroring sister channel Sky News Australia, on Monday, 19 July 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
“The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
