Sky News app for Apple TV not working anymore?

At some point recently, the Sky News for Apple TV app has stopped working. I’m not sure if it was tvOS 18.3 that broke it, but when you launch the app, it just opens to a blank, black screen. *Occasionally*, it will suddenly wake up, and ask me to set it up as if it were a fresh install, asking me to accept various levels of “cookies.” It will work for a while, as long as you do not quit the app and only minimize it. Or, after a prolonged period of being open and minimized, with a blank, black screen, you bring the app back up, and it will come back to life.


I have tried both offloading the app, as well as completely deleting and re-installing the app on my Apple TV, but the problem persists. I am using an Apple TV HD model. The app is still available in the Apple TV app store, and says “works on this device”. Currently running tvOS 18.3. Does anyone else out there have the Sky News app installed on their Apple TV? Is it working for you? Are you experiencing any problems?

Apple TV HD, tvOS 18
