Well we waited for 6am, and nothing! Then we waited for 12pm for mix to start, and nothing, our next milestone is around 8, when the first of the new season shows starts.

I don't think we will see Sky One relaunch today if it hasn't already. I may be eating my hat at 8pm, but I doubt it.

So how long has One on One (on Sky News) been on? I've only just noticed it and it screamed HardTalk to me!


Moz, you are sometimes such a w*nker. And yes, that was a personal attack. Shoot me.

Do you think that the BBC have the exclusive rights to do one to one interviews? Do you think it was in some way pioneered by Hard Talk?

Different news organisations around the world have been doing interviews with a presenter and a guest for absolutely ages now. Larry King has been doing it for 20 years.

Honestly, Moz, you are such an idiot at times.


Hooray! (Lands catch and puts it in big net thing!) Wink

I agree with all you say (including the bit about me being a w*nker sometimes!), but everytime News 24 does something it gets accused (a lot of the time by you c@t) of copying Sky News when the fact is Sky News have no exclusive right to them. Things like news walls, big graphics - other channels have been doing these for years too!

Although I did think when I saw One on One it did have a huge feeling of being like HardTalk, not just the fact it was a one one one interview, there was more to it than that.


No, I accuse News 24 of copying something from Sky when it actually has.

The concept of a one to one interview is not something that has been pioneered by News 24... but big, white on red graphics, attention grabbing breaking news, animating straps are things that Sky have really been leading in, and they are just outright pinched by BBC nitwits without an ounce of creativity in their heads.

Either way, we've had this argument a thousand times, Moz, and I just can't be bothered getting into it AGAIN!

Half of me thinks widescreen would be a good idea. The trouble is that there's still a significant amount of stuff that isn't 16:9 - i.e. anything from an agency. Still, they are going to have to do it eventually, so putting it off doesn't help in the long run.

Postponed till the 17th. More rehersal time is needed with the SKYnews today camera angles, and other graphics related problems.


Thanks, sounds like News 24 Very Happy

Then show the bits which aren't 16:9 in their original format, but the rest in widescreen. Why do you think widescreen wouldn't be a good idea?

I was just proving that i knew the date for a long time when the newsroom relaunch on the 1st i was expecting my source to be wrong. Then when speculation was that there wern't any new graphics. I posted the date. I wasn't sure my source was corect so i didnt post anything. Rolling Eyes

Nice to see Sky News being helpful - an MEP has had a letter bomb sent to him, and Sky kindly bring up a webpage with all his contact details, including his home address on it for all to see! Laughing I'd have thought that was the last thing to do under the circumstances.
