Sky News: Presenters & Rotas

Adam Boulton is stepping down as Sky News Political Editor. He's to present a new programme called "Editor at Large".

no, 'editor-at-large' will be his title. surprised they're giving him a presenting job as he still struggles to read the autocue after all these years and has he ever been known for particularly probing or revelatory interviews?

would be surprised if Joey Jones doesn't get the top job

big pay rise for less work though for Shep, on the face of it

didn't Sky open an LA bureau recently? Haven't seen it used that often and Tom Parmenter is covering events on the West Coast from Washington.

pretty poor for Fiona Bruce to tell people to switch over to the BBC NC at the end of last night's Ten to see pictures of the Boston suspects only for the channel itself to be showing trailers.


She said they were coming up, which they were!


no, her words were along the lines of: 'news just in, FBI have released the pictures, to see them, turn over to the BBC news channel now'
not massively bothered as I swiftly went over to Sky, as I imagine anyone else who wanted to see them did.

And what do you think then that the BBC NC is now even more innovative and varied than Sky News? Maybe a roll swap?


Despite all the hype and the size of the newsroom behind them, I don't think the BBC News relaunch turned out to be anything special. Sure, it feels fresh now and is a lot better than what went before but it isn't exactly anything original or innovative. The studio E set up is nice and looks good on some wide shots but I'm not as blown away by it as I thought I would be


indeed, and that repetitive pan at the top-of-the-hour is an inferior version of something Sky and Al Jazeera English have been doing for years. and the paper review rip-off is shameless.
its a good thing it has the BBC News brand value and quality, otherwise I cannot think of a single original innovative development the BBCNC has brought to the table in its existence

pretty shameless how they've just ripped the paper review format from Sky News, and at the same time (and no doubt with the same old reviewers).

ITV News London

Tonight's award winning RTS bulletin included the following.

A Labrador who swallowed 73 pebbles on a beach.
Tenuous coverage of the Oscars which included Adele and a costume designer from Hendon.
A puff piece from Martin Stew about flowers.
Brief coverage of the Mayor's budget exaggerated to tabloid proportions and job cuts at a Tesco distribution centre in Harlow.

One of the worst bulletins since the cuts. All this will do is move viewers to BBC1 and London Live when it starts.


i'm no fan of the show but that's just wrong. the budget stuff led the bulletin, not the labrador. There were also full reports on the Banksy mural and the gay couple refused entry to a hotel. Every local news provider tries to find a link to something like the Oscars.
it's quite obvious they're struggling by on scant resources though. Quite sad to see when you think of the old LNN days.

Sky News: Presentation Discussion

well, yes but that doesn't detract from the fact half of it is spent talking about stories in the papers rather than reporting on them. Watchable, but very lazy TV
