Major broadcasters SBS, Network 10, the ABC, Sky News Australia and Sky News UK have all had to go off air following a tech issue leaving their daily schedule to be abandoned.
In the UK this morning viewers were left with a static message apologising for the “disruption” to the service at 6am when broadcasting was meant to begin.
Whilst the presenters remained off-air, the channel continued to play stock footage for early-morning viewers to watch, before changing to the apology screen.
It read: “We apologise for the interruption to this broadcast. We hope to restore the transmission of Sky News shortly.”
Presenter Jacquie Beltrao issued a short message on X to fans waiting to tune into the show and stated: “We’re obviously not on air – we’re trying @SkyNews Breakfast.” (sic)
ABC News staff member Andy Park shared an image of his blank computer screen and captioned the post: “Meanwhile at the ABC. Is your #microsoft down too?”

Tried turning it off and back on again?” one viewer joked before another added: “So weird waking up and no Sky News ., hope you are back soon.. missing you .. Not keen on BBC too stuff.”
Someone else begged: “Oh please! Get it sorted I’m on to my second hour of Miss Rachel.”
“I was wondering what was going on. Hopefully you’ll be on shortly,” a fifth penned before a sixth said: “Standards are slipping. Scruffy.” (sic)
