Thumbs up Thats it, thanks. Strange how I've not noticed this newsroom view before this last week. Any idea what the lettering refers to on the blue pillar back right? or if that is an EU flag on back left? Thanks.

Maybe the time I was watching was a previously recorded interview

Was assuming it would relate to the 'desks' arrangement. No idea what the lettering is, but I am assuming that you'd probably find someone who deals with European stories sitting somewhere in the vicinity of that pillar?

The words are things like "Integrity". There are a few others dotted around the newsroom.

All of Sky's presenting output seems to be coming from the Glassbox for the duration of this period. Kay Burley@Breakfast, Adam Boulton and Dermot M all in the Glassbox.

I’m impressed with Sky for their information going into breaks with the virus key facts and the lady washing her hands. Have these been on other channels also?
TheTravelcard and Capybara gave kudos

Don't know where to put this, but I was looking at the IRN website and found out you can actually call a number to listen to the latest hourly IRN/Sky News Radio bulletin as heard on commercial radio stations. 65p per minute + operator charge, so I'm not sure who it's aimed at (0906 812 1290)

It isn't a new thing if that's what you're getting at...

It’s probably a relic from before you could listen to it online then. Just caught my eye as they don’t offer a link to an audio stream to listen to it, just a notice that you can call that number.

Yes, afterwards I did ask Siri on my phone to play the latest news from Sky News and it was the same bulletin!
