Not bad.

It could do with a better font and a bit of polish, but the actual idea makes sense. Maybe Sky could do something like this for an HD feed?

That looks better to what sky news has now.

But it looks as if it's a fake widescreen - that is, 4:3 video in a corner and extra info occupying the rest of the space.

p.s. That's what some news channels in US are doing now, e.g. FOX Business in so-called HD

The only things I don't like are: the 'Top Stories' and the 'Live at 5' which both go out the safe area and the ''Live at 5' just a bit too American looking.

I like the idea On Sky.

I would ditch the pic of Jo Wheelan next to Sky Weather and just have a City and Temperature and weather logo looping - something like on Sunrise but in that box area you have there. I would also ensure the clock was used so that for example, 17:38 was seen underneath the weather summary box?

I think going down the route of CNN US may be a good idea for Sky News though - they have varied programmes and it is always easy to identify what you are watching on CNN.

However, US new channels do not have News, Sport and Weather slots - they have named programmes on their channels.

I would definitely say that the Live at 5 logo is a good idea though!
