smh.com.au [$]

Sky News has cancelled Freya Leach's show "Freya Fires Up" after only six episodes due to a controversial guest appearance. The decision was made by programming head Mark Calvert upon his return from medical leave, with CEO Paul Whittaker's oversight, potentially to protect advertiser relations and preempt regulatory action. Leach, who gained prominence after a university exam complaint, has deep ties to conservative politics and advocacy groups, raising questions about Sky's editorial boundaries.
