Prior to creating Fox Sports, Hill worked in Great Britain, heading Sky Sports, the only all-sports channel serving the UK. The executive had begun his career as a newspaper journalist in Sydney, Australia, before joining the Australian Broadcasting Company in Melbourne as chief-of-staff in its newsroom at age 22. He was later an on-air reporter and anchor at Australia's Channel 7 Network, where he also hosted the Aussie "Today." In 1987, Hill went to Great Britain, where he joined Murdoch's News Corporation in launching the Sky Channel, the UK's first satellite TV station.
