Sky News Arabia

Just started watching and the presenter cut over a live interview whilst the reporter was still talking? Very odd!

As for the graphics I haven't seen the TOTH but the LIVE wipe is very nice.

Looks like the evening coverage comes from the elevated part of the set. It's nice and simple, with dark blue and purple colouring.

The set being used at the moment for a discussion between a guest in the studio in AD and a guest in Paris looks really nice, quite Newsnight-esque with its dark lighting.

Edit: A very messy TOTH at midnight UAE time, seemed to involved crossing to correspondents in Paris, Turkey and Washington all intertwined with awkward shots of the presenter in Abu Dhabi. Lasted about two minutes before the live swipe to the studio.

I watched the first twenty of SNA already and I have to say it is impressive. There was another mistake however at the TOTH just now when Francois Hollande was shown twice when showing the Top Stories.

The music was really nice at the end of the last programme. The TOTH was good too.

Overall this has been a good start from SNA.

Oh; And thanks for that livestation link, phil94. A great help when needed.

You are welcome

The very slick looking Sunrise set in action this morning,


The desk and newsroom look stunning in this shot,

Also for anyone interested, the live feed on the website seems to no longer be geoblocked,

We didn't see a Sunrise style set in the previews, did we? Unless it's replaced that sofa area?

Business ticker up for about 15 minutes during the daytime bulletins

Why can´t Skynews UK do the same? This would be so awesome!

Thank you for that information!
