Yahoo and Sky News have struck a content-sharing deal which will see the creation of an online hub on Yahoo for Sky's Sunrise programme and the launch of original content on the site covering politics, tech and business.

Deal: Yahoo News will host Sky News content

Yahoo News UK will host the Sky News Sunrise programme, presented by Eamonn Holmes and Charlotte Hawkins, while three original content shows - current affairs programme Thinking Aloud; personal finance programme Loose Change; and series of short films on young UK inventors The Lab - will be available on demand globally.

Yahoo vice president and head of partnerships EMEA, Jean-Christophe Conti, said: "Thanks to data driven audience insight, we know the topics that our users are most interested in. As a leading news provider, Sky News is the perfect partner to deliver and co-create content on news, politics and business that we know our users want."

It is estimated Sky News video content currently reaches over 107 million homes across 117 countries, while the UK arm of Yahoo News reaches approximately 6.5 million users.
