I would've thought there would be certain rules they would go by when using the Sky News Australia logo. I've seen them use several different variations of the logo, are there any rules or can they just change the logo however they like?

It's never been used on air though. Only the standard Sky News logo, or the Sky News logo with the map of Australia to the right is used on air.

Close but not quite. The building you have labelled as Sky Sports is best known for holding the Canteen. The Building below it (next to Head Office as you labelled it) is Sky Sports

So where is Sky Sports News based? I ask because during the evening shifts (between 7 and 12) on SSN, the presenters will also do the sports bulletins on Sky News. I've also seen guests from SSN appear on Sky News just minutes afterwards as well.

They're almost back to back to each other in the same building aren't they?
IIRC the smaller extension to the SN labeled building on the photograph is Sky Sports News, which was built onto a former car park.

I stand to be corrected on this though..

Sky Sports News is in the same building as Sky News, one corridor down in fact.

One of the reasons Sports wanted the new building was to put everyone together.

Funny situation on Sky News at the moment waiting for HMS Scylla to get blown up. Check your news channels now. Total confusion...

Very funny, especially Chris Roberts blaming it all on the reporter.

Nice use of the SkyCopter, but ooh look, the BBC have a camera on the ship itself (now underwater)

Yes, it that a BBC camera? (which has just broken down)

Just seen the Sky News helicopter fly over my house in Plymouth... it must have been pretty low on fuel after that very long delay.

I saw Kevin Owen, formerly of Channel Report, doing the overnight news when I got back last night.

Forgive me if this has been brought up before, but how long has this been going on?
