Sky News | General Discussion

Hardly ridiculous- you may not be a fan of it but there have been on screen changes in every area of presentation over the last couple of years.

I cannot see a real change in the core elements such as ToTH or lower thirds and music since 7th May 2015.

Very minor changes when they went to the new automated gallery.

No channel owes you presentation changes because you're bored. Snap out of it.

Have you got a preview of the new logo or set, Rob?

The new set is in a shed at the bottom of Adam Boulton's garden.

At least you’re not “aljazeeraenglishviewer”. That poor guy’s been waiting since 2006 for new pres!

It's always bugged me that Sky News captions have a person's name BELOW their title/description.

Was there a specific reason why this format was adopted?

No idea, but it was a style previously used on the captions on North Tonight on Grampian TV in the 1990s.

I doubt there will be any major changes in tone and overall presentation of SkyNews until COMCAST takes a closer look at the ratings trajectory and who's running things and what they have done over the years. After the... "What h*ll did we just buy?"... moment passes and Deborah Turness and the NBC crew gets involved, then channel will likely see some presentation changes. Until then probably not so much. Creatively the channel is no longer an innovator. Who chooses a white background for interviewees to sit in front of and think its a good a idea? Thats almost like a throw up your hands and give up move.

Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll have exposed brick walls and an OTT Weather Center before you know it.

Yep I'm sure why Comcast purchased Sky was purely down to Sky News and its presentation.

Who's to say either that Deborah Turness would be an improvement - she was behind the 'Timetable to Terror/Bye Bye Beckham' era of ITV News.



Haha. And while people whine here about Sky's studios, at least they don't go full CNNI and present several hours in a broom cupboard.
