Once again the watch sky news live feed on line has been switched to clean feed of protesters... Whats the point???

Really enjoying Sophy Ridge on Sunday. Peston set out with his aim of getting to know the people rather than going for the aggressive style of other interviewers, but I think Sophy does this better. Maybe she's an easier ride than your likes of Andrew Neil, but that's not a bad thing if it gets the interviewee to open up more.

Studio looks great too.

One thing I noticed with the Box today during Sophy Ridge. The box echos quite badly the noises of the next guest being sat down, and you can also see it occurring in the reflection and see the floor manager.

Earlier today, technically yesterday, Sky News broadcast from Washington DC using Sky News Arabia's offices with a makeshift studio. Just in case no one saw it.

The full Sky Ocean Rescue item from Sky News at 1 today - with some nice custom lower thirds, stings, maps etc.

I wonder what would happen if some massive breaking news story came in while they had the "Ocean Rescue" set... Shocked

Things like what Kay posted would make me nervous. Space at the Fox and NBC bureaus (if you don't know they're in the same building) was so precious that they had to set up two levels of scaffolding on the roof for live shots of their affiliates and news partners.

Space was at such a premium for NBC (I imagine Fox as well) that on another position of the roof they set up the insulated and heated tents.

Is Kay Burley able to start and interview, either a guest or a reporter without telling us that that person is 'standing by'

Know it's a little thing but it bugs the crap out of me!

It's like Mary Anne Hobbes on Radio 6 when she says a track is "lifted from" the album. Mad

Sky News is 28 on Sunday. I think it's came quite far and still pioneering how we access news.

Kay posted a picture of the original newsroom, fascinating how small it seems compared to osterley now.
