Having not watched any of the coverage, what particular incident are you referring to - the only thing I've heard about Sky's coverage was the interview with John Barnes?

Sky did good with him, but within the last 30min someone else was wheeled in and went the opposite way.

Sunrise really is so much better at the weekends than during the week - no matter who's presenting. The segment on Christian Dior just now was hilarious - some fantastic "banter" (for want of a better word) between Samantha Washington and Stephen Dixon about his fashionista credentials.
fanoftv, BBI45 and UBox gave kudos

So what, you mean they actually allowed both sides of a debate to have their say.

I guess you'd prefer an echo chamber instead?

How many separate feeds/versions of Sky News exist at present?

I make it...

Sky News UK SD - As exists on DTT/DSAT in UK - SD DOG. Clock, UK Adverts
Sky News UK HD - As per Sky Ch 501 - HD DOG, Clock, UK Adverts
Sky News UK HD for streaming - As per AndroidTV/FireStick - In HD but without the HD indicator in the DOG, Clock, Adverts.
Sky News Irl HD - As per Sky 501 in Ireland. HD DOG, Clock, Irish adverts
Sky News Irl SD - As per Sky SD, SD DOG, Clock, Irish ads
Sky News Intl SD - As per feed at 19.2°E - SD DOG, Clock is masked with URL, breakfiller segments
Sky News Intl HD - I am assuming this must exist as the base for the other two intl feeds - but have not seen it.
Sky News Intl HD for Youtube - HD DOG, clock is masked, breakfiller sports further filled with more breakfiller.

I suspect there is even a Sky News 4k Rupert Murdoch edition Wink I’ve seen Sky News International HD on 7w I think.

Surely that wouldn't be part of Rupert's Comcast cable subscription any more?

Sky News UK HD for streaming is identical to the SD service in the UK.
Sky News Intl HD for Youtube is also used for Pluto, but unlike the YouTube service is 25fps rather than YT's default 30fps.

From the Sky NewsRaw it appeared the push back picture in picture was taking the International feed. When they showed the OverDrive console it appeared that the international feed is played from the gallery. It appeared as a VT sequence.

The pushback feed on Raw was identical to the YouTube stream.
