I think the plastics thing often replaces sport on the steam due rights reasons

It's the YouTube stream that has either filler, a shortened bulletin without EPL footage or the Sky Sports News trailer.

If you watch Sky News International on Zattoo Switzerland for example, it has Sportsline complete with EPL.

Another problem just now with a countdown appearing on screen instead of the weather graphics.

Tuned into Sky News throughout the day, I don't think 20mins went by without a technical problem. Countless problems during Gamal's and Kay's shift and now reports failing to play for News at Ten.

The Pledge has screwed up already. Just messy sound and Sky News Tonight card.

And now we have the temporary fault screen.

EDIT: It's back to normal, although we have missed 3 minutes.

Temporary Fault caption and some very familiar breakdown music. I believe it may have been music from Sky Travel?

This was the music used:

Yet more faults. They need to start addressing these issues, making them look rather amateurish.

Now we have further problems. Another technical fault cards for a few seconds and it seems it's skipped a bit again.

What on earth is going on with The Pledge? They were just discussing about the break in and death of that burglar, went to the breakdown slide and now back with discussing Syria...

A question I've been wondering ever since it got commissioned.

Did Murdoch sell Sky News to Arise whilst we weren't looking?

BBC News went through a phase like this around 2009-2010 when the channel was riddled with technical problems, although they weren't working new technology at the time.
