The Sky News Thread

Niall has confirmed on twitter that he is scheduled to be covering Kay next week.

Glass box overnight tonight - and not just with the big screen as background either (which I hate).

Just a shot of an empty corridor though. For goodness sake I wish they'd just rotate the desk and show the Sky Central view, its getting silly now.

This morning Sky News are not having people in the studio "on advice from our company" said Adam Boulton on All Out Politics today

Very sensible decision

All you'll see at that time of night is an empty and dark atrium though.

Mark Austin presenting Sky News at Ten tonight.

Mark doing a double shift today as he did his usual 5pm-7pm slot as well.

I think these may be short-term changes as presenters isolate/move to off-air positions. Gamal did 10-5 a few weekends ago and Samantha did 11-1.30 then 5-7 on a Friday. This is happening in many shift-work positions around the country, not just in TV news, I would imagine!

Do wonder if we will see a whole bulletin (probably not a 3-4 hour shift) on one channel hosted from an isolated hosts home at some point.

Easier to do on radio, but The World at One came from Sarah Montague's home today.

Like millions of others, working from home today. My kitchen table is now ⁦@BBCWorldatOne⁩ studio. #bbcworld pic.twitter.com/Ejs6cQYoRG

Technical problems with the Early Rundown today. They went to a break at 6:01 during the headlines before returning a couple of mins later

The world could end and those Glensound codecs would still be working...
