Sky News Extra 3

Sky News Extra 3 is the overflow channel for the network's breaking news and long-form discussion. It's where the main channel's live coverage spills when a story runs long or a parliamentary session dominates airtime. The programming feels less polished than the flagship-fewer graphics, more natural pauses-but that's exactly why it works. You get the raw feed, not the packaged version. The opinion hosts are loud and right-leaning, typical of Sky News Australia's house style. If you want straight news without commentary, stick to the bulletin hours or the Parliamentary channel. But for anyone tracking a developing story across a whole day-bushfires, elections, budget lock-ups-Extra 3 offers the unbroken feed that the main channel cuts away from. The stream holds up well online. To watch Sky News Extra 3 online, Tvivu provides a stable feed with decent bitrate. It's not essential daily viewing, but when news breaks, it's the smarter choice than the main channel's commercial interruptions.
