“I would like to thank Stephen for his very significant contribution to Sky over the past 18 years,” said Strong.
“He has played an instrumental role in developing and building our brand, developing and launching our products, taking our UK business into new markets, leading our people and ensuring our customers are at the heart of everything we do.”
Van Rooyen was appointed chief executive of UK and Ireland at the broadcaster in 2016.
Speaking about his decision, van Rooyen added: “I have taken the decision that now is the right time for me to leave Sky. The business today has everything it needs to compete to win. We have strong leadership, led by Dana, a world-class team, and a fantastic plan. I would like to thank every one of my colleagues for the support I’ve received and the commitment they make to Sky. It has been a real privilege, and I will always be Sky’s biggest supporter.”

4. A new survey calls into question the widely-held perception that younger Gen Z consumers are abandoning longer-form TV content for short-form videos, social media, streaming music and video games.?
Horowitz Research ’s latest FOCUS Generation Next study, which tracks the media lifestyles of Gen Z consumers in the U.S., found that while Gen Zers (13-24 year-olds) report spending most of their time with social media, short videos, streaming music, and video games, a large majority are still heavily engaged with professional, full-length TV content.
In fact, the study finds that Gen Z audiences are almost as likely to be viewers of professionally produced TV content as they are non-TV content (e.g., short clips, user-generated content, video game live streams, videos on social media, etc.). Eight in ten Gen Zers report watching short-form videos weekly, while seven in 10 say that they watch TV content every week. The data are similar for both older (18-24 year-old) and younger (13-17 year-old) Gen Zers, the study found.

The Unusual Requests that come in… (Another busy month in the office!)
The start of the year has been exciting for Globelynx as new requests for interviews continue to roll in thick and fast. And this month a flood of financial stories have dominated the headlines, such as the Bank of England’s stern warning that there’s a 50-50 chance of a UK recession; the UK unemployment rate has risen to 4.2%; and of course, pensions raid fears grow as the Government mulls tax rise options, while super-economists flag that it’s a potential ticking timebomb. Other headlines causing news editors to shed blood, sweat and tears include insight on global stock moves; and the explosive new revelations arising from the dramatic Epstein court case. There’s a buzz from news editors at the new Sustainable Aviation Fuel? Program; and the continuing drone disruptions at Gatwick Airport are raising serious security concerns.
Having riffled through the many requests our Partnerships team handle for January, we reckon the most unusual query came from the broadcaster who booked an expert for an original and successful news story about EU/Qatar bilateral relations. Our dedicated team, along with PA Media journalists, are on the move constantly, working all the hours under the sun to find the next big story.
With their uncanny ability to predict the headlines at the start of the year, our Partnerships team have revealed there’ll be some hot topics for 2024 and highlight that Global Elections everywhere will be under the spotlight; the furious debate behind AI roles continues to fascinate audiences, geopolitics and global relations; the trail of twists and turns of the economy; and the furious exchange of oil prices are all topics predicted to be big news this year.
And would you believe that our busiest day of the year so far was Tuesday 9 January 2024, when requests for our experts in every area poured in thick and fast. Featuring in our network of experts as the most popular in January include Susannah Streeter ( Hargreaves Lansdown ), Dr. Amrita Sen ( Energy Aspects , London) and of course financial super guru Martin Lewis (Founder of MoneySavingExpert.com ). We were also pleased to be able to host worldwide Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams who spoke candidly about both the King and Princess of Wales’s current health situations.
