Never go near ITV News then!

Overall I'm very impressed so far. Certainly makes ITV News (and to a lesser extent News 24) look rather stale now.

I agree with those who are concerned that the news content is a bit thin, but you can never judge these things on day one.

Don't get me wrong - it does mostly look good - very fresh and modern... but to me the content doesn't come up to the same standard.

Anyone's perspective suddenly switched to 4:3? I had widescreen but now I have lost the sky.com/news / active thing! How odd!

MediaGuardian: Chris Shaw's verdict

It would have been nice to get someone who isn't a client of Sky News to write about the relaunch...

Not sure where they are getting them from - you can't buy that particular model any more!
