Your Money was a short-lived Australian 24-hourbusiness news channel operated through ajoint venture betweenAustralian News Channel Pty Ltd andNine Entertainment. The channel was available nationally oncable andsatellite on theFoxtel subscription platform, in metropolitan areas of Australia throughfree-to-airdigital terrestrial television, and streamed online.
The channel launched on 1 October 2018, replacing bothSky News Business Channel onFoxtel andExtra on DTT. Until its closure on 17 May 2019,[1] the channel featured stock market and trading information during opening hours of theAustralian Stock Exchange (ASX), much like its predecessor Sky News Business, and aspirational and lifestyle programming during primetime.
The channel was announced in June 2018; it would be operated as ajoint venture betweenAustralian News Channel (a subsidiary ofNews Corp Australia) andNine Entertainment (throughNine Network) via Australian Money Channel Pty Ltd., replacing the former's finance channelSky News Business Channel onFoxtel and the latter'sdatacastinginformercial channelExtra on DTT.[2][3][4] Promotional trailers ran on the former channel spaces of both Sky News Business and Extra until 6amAEDT on 1 October 2018, when the channel was launched. The channel retained large portions of programming and staff from the Sky News Business Channel, but would feature lifestyle and consumer-focused programs outside of trading hours.[4][5]
Your Money was headquartered at theNews Corp Australia headquarters in Sydney, which Sky News Business moved to at the start of 2018.[6] Kylie Merrit was the channel's CEO.
The channel ceased transmission on 17 May 2019, with the staff and viewers being given two weeks notice; the channel's owners declared Your Money was financially unsustainable due to lack of advertisers.[1] On DTT, Nine began gradually placing an HD version of9Gem on Your Money's channel space, area by area. On Foxtel, the channel space on channel number 601 that was created by Sky News Business in 2008 folded and ceased to exist.
Your Money consisted 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. The channel's primetime line-up featured flagship programYour Money Live, followed by bespoke specialty programs until 11pmAEST when the channelsimulcastFox Business Network. Saturdays featured real-estate programming (also carried over from its former self) including live auctions from 8:30am to 2:30pm.[7]
