Now with this I wonder if the competition authority took into account the sale of Fox (including its increased stake in Sky) to Disney. As far as I know Disney has little media interests in the UK.

I don't think they did at all. Not that it matters anymore really. I don't see Disney going after the rest of Sky like Fox went after the rest of Sky. Disney may at some point make a move to take over the rest of Sky but I don't see it happening for at least 5 years.

It was noted in the conclusion to the CMA report, as a possible remedy for any future consideration, but was beyond the DCMS remitted authority when completing the report released today.

Surely they can't take into account the Disney takeover of Fox since that hasn't happened yet and has hurdles of its own to overcome?

The weather breakfiller on the international feed has had a make over. The background is now black and the temperatures now look different

But only at the top of the hour, at half past they still use the old filler.

No, that's from some point shortly after the glass box studio was launched.

Sky Ocean Rescue has changed the colour of the branding on the 1 year anniversary of the campaign - They seem to have dropped the little plastic bubble on the strap too.

The trend for non news programming is continuing with repeats of previously aired documentaries.

Today we have
A Plastic Voyage - 1.30pm - 2.00pm
Plastics in Paradise - 3.30pm - 4.00pm
Artic Peril - 8.00pm - 9.00pm

Friday we have scheduled
Dirty Business 9.00pm - 10.00pm (I believe this one is new?)

Look - just because there are some fillers on Sky News, it doesn't mean anything. Sky are trying to promote a clear thing here - protecting our oceans from climate change and plastics. They are trying to convey a message
