Blame Fox.

They used to do it. Nnot sure whether it's still going on there or not.

Sky introduced it in the 2001 relaunch. It's very annoying.

I think Fox were slightly more intelligent in their approach, though, in that the top line was highlighted and so the name still stood out.

Hmmm @ new into break sting music. It's just the underscore version of the older version. Sounds good actually. It does flow better out of the bed though.

Delightful moment on Littlejohn.

Guest calling Richard Littlejohn 'Ray', then later trying 'Kevin' to see if that worked any better.

Sky News Ireland experienced a few problems - ads failed to play out so we held on the Sky News Ireland logo and flicked between the starting frame of a report and back and forth. All was fine on the programme itself though.

Must say, do like the new top of the hour music - sounds a bit more regal.

19:35 was their first mention of it, their aston read "Sky News learns...".

But at 20:00 they've spent less time on it than BBC News 24 before moving on.
The person on the phone on News 24 was coming out with sentences staring "If it is true..." They're crediting the Press Association but presumably the original source of the story is Sky News.

Seeing that Martin Brunt is live at the prison Sky has obviously known about this for a little while
