Overview

Part of Sky TG24's programming is available on the television channels Cielo and TV8.

In the United States, Sky TG24 is available on cable via RCN in Boston, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington D.C.. From December 2004 to 7 December 2008 it was available via satellite on DirecTV. It was removed due to low subscriber levels.

A local Canadian version of Sky TG24 aired in Canada until 2018. It was owned by Telelatino Network Inc. Most of its content was simulcast with the Italian channel, with Canadian content.

The channel has been available in high definition since September 2013, making it the 63rd HDTV channel offered by Sky Italia.
