Why does Sky News say 'Calls cost 25p' when talking about their text message service on 84501? Surely they mean 'Texts cost 25p'?

Anyone here got a mad.co.uk subscription and can tell us what this story says?

Very sorry if this had been mentioned but Media Bullet reports:

03/02/04 Sky News new look "just tweaks"
In another scoop for Sky Digi Online, we can reveal to you that the impending new look for Sky News will be very minimum and nowhere near the amount of changes viewers saw on ITV News Channel yesterday. In an exclusive conversation with the channel a spokesman said that the changes have been made out to be quite a major thing, however the changes will be tweaking rather than anything major, similar to the set, which saw some minor changes in the past two weeks. A date has not been confirmed for the 'new' on air graphics but keep it with Sky Digi Online as we shall have the information here first.

I think we knew that all along, didn't we? Hardly a 'scoop'!

What's a tweek? I've heard of a tweak but not a tweek.

And I wouldn't buy a 'garantee' [sic] from you Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Twisted Evil

Joy, here's some questions for you...

what's your source?
are you really sure that it is that date?
why should we believe YOU?
why are you such an ar*e hole?
will you please go away?

and to be quite honest, I'll agree with Sir Richard Rotcod - I wouldn't buy a guarantee off you either - so its not just him.

Now please go back to your worm hole where you came from.

Sky News is attracting some of the top names in Irish journalism for it's new service...

Among the confirmed people heading for TV are:

Grainne Seoige (Bulletins Presenter) - TV3's leading news anchor
John Keogh (News Editor) - News Editor at 98FM, Dublin's number 1 commercial radio station
Johnathan Healy (Reporter) - News Editor at FM104, Dublin's number 2 commercial radio station
Ray Kennedy (Chief Correspondent) - currently a reporter with state broadcaster RTE, and formerly of TV3
Jerome Hughes and other names are also on the list.

At last Irish TV viewers are going to get some great choice in news programming, with three Irish produced services beaming onto our screens every night
