Looks like Skys Downfall, I have my self found N24 more watchable than Sky lately.

For a start, Eamonn Homes , cant stand the bloody fat ****. He turns every serious news item into some football joke. Rolling Eyes

I know this is in the Sky News thread, but well done BBC News 24 for getting news channel of the year. Cheers


He reminds me of Mr Blobby for some reason, it's probably the way he walks around that set Laughing


They will sign Noel Edmonds for the Sports Update next Laughing

Edit: Heey it could be the return of Noels House Party, every night on Sky News, Blobby joins Noel for a full round up of todays news... with the stories your going to bed to Laughing


I thought that was what Lorna was for...

After about 3 weeks they have finaly updated the hedder image on the Sky Report Newsletter.

Its the same image as before, except with anna's head placed over Julies, and the background doctored a bit. You would atleast think they would take a new "real" shot from the new studio of anna, as the one they used with julie was taken in the old Sky Centre

Anna Botting is a good asset to Primetime news. Perhaps they should let her do the Sky World News at 8 (or whatever its called).

By the way, has James Rubin EVER taken a day off? If so, who replaced him? (apart from BN stories that overran with either JE or CR).

Agreed BBC World - she is a great presenter, as is Juliette Foster. I would like to see her in the weekday line-up (yet I suppose her business duties would limit this)

I think that the primetime presenting team are weak except Julie and Chris. Perhaps with Maitlis and Brown taking them on at this time, Sky will review this? They are obviously experimenting at the moment.

Watching WNT with Rubin is ok until he has to read the autocue, its just so embarrasing.

His knowledge of world events is excellent and comes across when he interviews but if he cannot present he should not be the anchorman.

Tim Marshall is a great deputy so why not put him as anchor and keep Rubin on to give his views on events.
