Your Money is an Australian 24-hour free-to-air, cable, satellite and online business news channel, available nationally on the Foxtel subscription platform, in metropolitan areas of Australia through digital terrestrial television and streaming online.

The channel launched on 1 October 2018, replacing both Sky News Business Channel and Extra. The channel features stockmarket and trading information during opening hours of the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), much like its predecessor Sky News Business, and aspirational and lifestyle programming during primetime.

History

The channel was announced in June 2018 as a joint venture between Australian News Channel and Nine Entertainment Co. (via Australian Money Channel Pty Ltd), replacing the former's finance channel Sky News Business Channel and the latter's datacasting informercial channel Extra.[1][2][3] The channel launched at 6am AEDT on 1 October 2018. The channel retained large portions of programming and staff from the Sky News Business Channel, but will be more lifestyle and consumer-focused outside of trading hours.[3][4]

Your Money is headquartered at the News Corp Australia headquarters in Sydney, which Sky News Business moved to at the start of 2018.[5] Kylie Merrit is the channel's CEO

Programming

Your Money consists of many programs which aired on its predecessor Sky News Business Channel, consisting of live rolling coverage and analysis of the ASX and international markets, finance and economic news throughout the day on weekdays. Primetime features flagship program Your Money Live, followed by bespoke specialty programs until 11pm AEST when the channel simulcasts Fox Business Network. Saturdays feature real-estate programming including live auctions.[6]
