He is developing several current affairs and entertainment programs,[25][26][27] but the project was discontinued when Rhodes' team concluded it was unwise to launch a traditional cable news business in the present market.

[29] Under Rhodes' leadership, Sky News entered into a licensing agreement with ProRata.ai, a U.S.-based artificial intelligence startup, to ensure fair compensation for the use of its content in AI-generated outputs.

[30] The partnership reflects Sky News' commitment to protecting its intellectual property and supporting sustainable journalism in the evolving digital landscape.

"[31] Sky News' agreement with ProRata.ai positions them as trailblazers at the intersection of journalism and technology, driving innovation to better serve audiences with cutting-edge solutions, and it is a model that "aims to address the concerns in the media industry over AI start-ups stealing their content to train and provide up-to-date responses to users.

"[32] Since joining Sky News, Rhodes has spearheaded the launch of several new initiatives, including the "Electoral Dysfunction" political podcast, designed to "explain what's really going on" and provide audiences with an insider's view of Westminster from veteran poltical voices.

[33] According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rhodes' investment in political coverage and "impartial, high-quality journalism" that spans the globe has been a trademark of his tenure leading the Comcast-owned European media and technology giant.
