Sky News 2015 new look

Did anyone else notice during the whole of the 22:30 press preview the big screen was showing 3 papers from yesterday?
I'm surprised nobody at Sky News spotted it. I wonder how it happened as usually when a paper isn't in yet they just show a white block with that loading graphic on top of it.

First noticed the picture on the top left paper and thought it was interesting that 2 papers have used the same pic 2 days running, then noticed the sun love vile land which they covered last night - again I thought how unusual to use the same headline 2 days running. I then looked down to see wales and I'm Mr Bean on the bottom paper and realised its an error.



Edit - at 23:30 the sun is still showing the wrong day but the others have been updated

Looks like they are repeating the midnight hour through the night again

You can always tell as there is a small gap between the graphics and ticker when its pre recorded.

Engineering works to the editing/export systems were why the midnight hour was repeated, but as for the wall, I have to ask, don't you have anything better to do with your time than to write a two paragraph post on the subject?

You know, I could have sworn this was a forum about TV presentation. It's not that crazy that someone might discuss a problem with it!

I guess Skygeek was behind the wall fail then going by his reply

At that length, though?



Funnily enough, I was... the night before!

how rude

Your ill-punctuated, third-of-a-sentence of an opinion really matters to me - thanks!

I don't think it was excessive no, and I think it was unnecessarily rude to a fellow forum member.

EDIT: I'm guessing you agree since you've removed your earlier comment.

Well, I speak from direct experience when I say our graphics team and output producers take their responsibilities very seriously. Do mistakes get made? Yes, but it's live TV and you roll with it.


And I stand by my not-in-fact-deleted earlier remark. A minor graphics hiccup does not bear that level-of-scrutiny, even on a presentation forum. That's my final word on the subject.

Apologies, I thought you had removed it. My mistake.

Even if that is your point of view I still maintain there is no need to be so rude. We've discussed presentation mistakes on many other channels in detail - it's not an insult to anyone that works at the channel, it's simply of subject of interest for many who are interested in TV presentation.

I/we appreciate your contributions as an insider at Sky and that because of this it's easier to take things personally, but I'm sure it's not beyond the realms of possibility to be polite to each other members.

And I appreciate you taking the time to write a well-considered post. I take your comments fully on-board.
