First positive they are using the full height of the wall for sunrise instead of that awful strip in the middle used overnight

Just looks like a virtual version of the glass box so far with the view behind looking like sky central but I do like it

New weather symbols on the ticker are now in a black square

Yes - the screen and newsroom behind it have been virtually created. Sky Creative’s ‘secret’ greenscreen project was to have people moving around in the virtual newsroom behind the virtual screen

Geeez. You need a microscope to notice these timid "changes". The average viewer wont notice a bit of difference in microscopic kerning or spacing changes on a lower third, as it looks virtually identical to the previous ones. So whats the point of that.

That *is* the point Rolling Eyes
London Lite and Inspector Sands gave kudos

Looks much better seeing the VR extension.

It doesn't look too bad, I'd prefer it if we say the big screen in the background to give it some more depth but it looks quite nice on screen. They still don't have much space though.

The VR look good, an improvement on the glass box backdrop. The real part of the set looks cheap.

I think the VR is awful. Some of the perspectives look wrong & the presenters look like they are floating. Really not a fan of the new studio...

It's worth noting that Sky News Arabia is still using the old logo.

There are some brilliant VR sets out there now.

This isn’t one of them.

Perspectives are weird, looks fake, so many gradients going on.

I guess the only saving grace is that they are relatively easy to change (vs rebuilding a studio) so it might not last long.
