I've got Adam Boulton's podcast but it's just audio...not video?! Any ideas? I have got an ipod capable of video.

Adam Boulton's podcast is an audio podcast - not a video one.

The only video podcast available at the moment is 7 Days.

Who's clever idea was it to broadcast the first five minutes of last night's CBS Evening News in squashyvision then?

Eventually solved - just jump into 4:3 and back as needs be and suddenly everything that doesn't fit in the safe area on the ticker now just happens to fit.

Sky News is going to launch a major advertising campaign...

From Digital Spy:
Quote:
Sky is planning to promote its news channel's primetime "appointment-to-view" programming with a new marketing campaign.

The campaign will run on radio, online and Sky's TV channels.

On radio, Sky plans to use new digital delivery technology to allow it to run ads during the morning for exclusive reports, debates or interviews to run on Live at 5 in the evening.

Online, banner ads will promote Sunrise, Live at 5, The Sky Report and World News Tonight with James Rubin. Relevant programme information will be included in the banners and if news breaks, the banners will be immediately updated to reflect it.

"The rolling format of a 24-hour news channel means any commercial promoting that day’s news output needs to be fresh and current," said Sky's marketing director Charles Ponsonby. "The integrated radio, online and cross promotional campaign will inform new and existing viewers of Sky News, on Sky digital, cable and Freeview, of the new programming line-up and any exclusives, major interviews, reports and debates coming up. On an average day we will have more than 20 different ads in the mix, covering online, radio and on-air. And we'll be producing over 350 different live ads over the entire seven week campaign."


I wonder if this has anything to do with the minor changes they planned for "early 2006"?

Yeah - seems less harsh a swoosh. Also noticed that there seems to be a new plama/lcd screen, which was visable during the paper review on Surise, and as they zoomed in to the desk at TOTH.

I've always wondered (since the relaunch, obviously) why they don't stick a webcam just behind where that plasma is, pointing in the direction of the newswall, and stick the feed on News Active instead of having a video link to Sky Active.
