Battle of the News Channels - now who looks the best

Considering graphics, studio, music etc

I want to like the new BBC News channel, but Sky News certainly comes out on top overall, IMO.

I still think CNN International looks fresh.

I actually think they both look the worst they have done for a few years, unfortunately!

i'm giving the credit to CNN International, most of the graphics that can be seen now on most Cable news came from CNNI, especially Sky News at the moment

Who's voting for the beeb?! Have you watched since the relaunch?!

Me (though only once!) - I think the new titles and graphics are very good, and apart from a few problems with the retrictions that sharing a studio forces on them the set is OK too.

I just don't like the tabloidy 'look' of Sky News.

Obviously not you. Yawn.

I voted BBC News, the new look has just made it more watchable than Sky News for me now

Oooh, this is close. Neither are great but I gave Sky News the edge - at least they're moving a bit more with the times (although a year or two late!) rather than going back in time to circa 1999.

I agree that neither are at their best at the moment, but for my tastes, BBC News has the edge. I actually like the new titles, and I think they've made the best of the studio that they could under the circumstances. It's just their blocky, plain lower third graphics which let them down.

Sky's recent 'revamp' improved things a bit, although there's something a bit Fisher Price about their astons. I also find the channel a bit too gimmicky and tabloidy for my liking. Plus the change to single-headed presentation has lost the channel some of its charm.

If BBC News had retained the straps used from Jan 07 there would be no competition. As many have said, the bland blocky straps are their downfall but the titles, music and overall style is superior to Sky's offering.
