Sky News only and tv licence?

len+fisher — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:40:36 GMT

I have searched and searched and can't find the simple answer to a simple question. Do I need a TV licence to watch Sky NEWS only? That's all I use the TV for. The rest of the time I am into my computer.

@len+fisher Yes you need a license to watch any tv program live or on demand regardless of platform

You need a license for live broadcast TV and BBC iPlayer

You can watch On Demand TV that is not BBC iPlayer without a license

@len+fisher

Yes, if you watch it as it is being broadcast, or if you record it from that broadcast and watch at any time later.
