Supplementing Sportsline, Sky News introduced, at an unknown point of time, "Saturday Sport," which features a round-up of the week's major sports news. It was broadcast on Saturday at 11:30am.
Outside of Sportsline, Sky News provides sports headlines as part of the top- and bottom-of-the-hour headlines, and bulletins at :20 and :50 past the hour excluding All Out Politics, Sophy Ridge on Sunday, The Pledge and Press Preview. Sunrise, Sky's breakfast programme, featured a separate sports reporter in the same studio as the other presenters, typically presenting a sports bulletin each hour along with the "back pages" as part of the paper review on weekends. Sky News @ Breakfast also features a separate sports reporter from Friday–Sunday, who typically presents a sports bulletin at approximately :20 past each hour.
Sky also operates a rolling sports news channel, Sky Sports News, which covers sports news, analysis and results 24/7.
