Much better than the previous strap they used and quite interesting to watch I would add.

urgh. I shall watch it on one of the regional feeds if I can find it. Not that any of them are in broadband yet are they?

Nope, don't think so.

The original comment was designed to be read sarcastically.

welll it was on the look north feed and what a marvel it was. entirely pointless and daft, loved it.

So, are they using this on all the bulletins? I've only caught it on the Ten, and as I am in Scotland, won't see it on the Six, plus I never see the One. I think it's quite a good idea, IIRC they used the overview shot to plug News 24 circa last Christmas and I always wondered why they got rid of it as it was, IMO, a good idea. Was very funny on (Weds, I think) to see Jane Hill interviewing Susannah Price at the UN and Chris Eakin sitting in the other chair with his arms folded and eyes closed! You would have thought he would be doing some hard work at the time...or at least paying attention to Jane's interview. How rude!

They're only using it at the end of the '6' - just to plug News 24 Tonight, which kicks off at 7. Trying to get viewers to turn over to get more news, that's the idea behind it. It works quite well I think, and looks neat.

They appear to be using it on most bulletins.

Yeah, Ive seen it used on the 10 most of this week aswell.

they use it at the end of the national 1, after the summary 6, and before the opt out on the 10. not sure whether it's on the weekends.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but according to the newspaper review of the Independent on Sky News earlier....

Anna Ford is to leave the One O'Clock next April.

Will have more details soon...

It was the Torygraph.

Sophie did say on Friday that she would be back next year, maybe she will do the one 0 clock news?, or go back to the six and Kerplunk will take the one??.
