EDIT: The US gets a Round-up sponsorship sting, we don't get such luxury...


Think re-broadcasters in the UK have to avoid the sponsorship elements within US news shows don't they? (Breaks Ofcom sponsorship rules?)


That's why Sky Tx it at 0030, so they can chop out sponsors etc.


I always thought that Sky took a feed from CBS that was 6 hours behind UK time hence being broadcast at 00.30, instead of 11.30 like NBC Nightly News on CNBC.

Although I do remember the BBC NC showing ABC World News ages ago with the sponsors still in, ie 'Presented by Audi' and all that kinda stuff.


Sky take the PST (EST-3 hours, GMT -8 ) feed, time delayed usually (hence LIVE ES/DT on the graphics) and then chop it about to remove sponsors.


You would never think it was edited though, they do it so seamlessly, unlike ABC World News on the BBC NC, that's just a mess. Whoever edits that before it goes out, should be sacked.

The BBC no longer show ABC World News on the News Channel. It has been replaced in the bottom half of the hour by Asia Business Report and Sport Today. A shame because it was interesting to see how other American networks, apart from CBS and NBC (which we can watch) do things, and especially their amazingly aesthetic graphics! Plus, of course, it was in 4:3.

CBS Evening News is usually a nightly viewing for me now I'm nocturnal!

I watch it too, purely for the theme tune. Its a shame sky cut the end theme off ever so slightly with the weather.

What is nice is the way Sky will be automatically over-ridden by CBS' programme, often halfway through speech.

Good news is they listened to my complaint and got rid of that awful green squiggly line down the left hand side of the screen!

I remember a few nights back, the programme started in 4:3, then a few minutes later when I flicked back again, it was 16:9. A problem on Sky's end or the CBS? Also, is it shown in HD on Sky News HD? I know the graphics are awful, but seeing them crisp and shiny in HD would be great.

I'm not too sure but the graphics in HD look okay, but by no means great...

It sadly isn't shown in HD for some reason.

As an aside; The Early Show has changed its music to match that of the CBS Evening News, the music was written by Liz Myers and performed at 20th Century Fox studios at the end of June, the change happened in week 3 of July. It was based upon one of the extended stings for the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather package.

As well as changing the music, the graphics also received an update (or downdate because quite honestly, they're vile!) and the astons, after 3 months of nagging from me have been aligned correctly!

Anyway; here it is:


Now there were 2 alternate versions of this music written and performed, and as is CBS News tradition, they took the worst version!

I don't see how they can, it airs at 12.30, it wouldn't even have aired for PST time zone by then (its only 4.30 then)

Neither do I, it's just normally Scott Pelley will say "And welcome to a special broadcast for the west coast"

UNLESS they record live like the ITV regions the Pacific/West Coast programme and Sky pick it up off Newspath or even affiliate support.

EDIT: Sky do indeed take a live to tape recording of the Evening News that is for the west coast US and they know when to edit out sponsorships as they get the running order over Newspath Now (replacement for Newspath)

That's strange. CBS's web video gets the timing wrong.

That's because that running order was for Thursday, not Friday.
This is Friday's Running Order:
