Mark the 5th of February in your diaries, something special is happening.

Can't say anything more than that I'm afraid...

Someone else mentioned February 5 about the BBC (unless I’m mistaken) if it’s both what’s special about that day?


First day of half term?

Reference to Comcast being owners of Sky, in the titles....maybe

Do wish him a happy birthday from us when the time comes! If you haven't already arranged a cake for him, I found one that'd be perfect.

Sounds pretty exciting! Maybe a full rebrand? Just noticed an old clip on YouTube and noticed it’s definitely the lighting that’s making everything look beige now... I mean look how new and modern it looks below compared to now.

Please don't be too optimistic, but a rebrand would be overdue and it would be the perfect occasion! So fingers crossed! Concerning the beige walls, it is not just the lighting. I also mean the structure of sky central in the background which is not illuminated by lights of the box, so something has been done to the camera settings, maybe they added more warmth etc..

I just can’t understand why they’d think that looks better? Do you think they’d do a u turn on the box and go back to a proper studio or is the best we could hope for a graphics refresh? They also need to lose the plain white background for the green screen interviews! The Westminster background they had briefly with the Sky News logo overlaid was wonderful... I can’t imagine that the producers are looking at this thinking this is the best they can do? I imagine Kay hates the box compared to what they used to have

I also agree there has to be a proper green screen background for interviews. At the moment they might hesitate because the clock tower is covered due to construction works. I also cannot understand a lot of things about the current sky news...

It's not a refresh. You'll find out soon enough.
