Ginny is on Sky News Tonight with Chris.Why is this? Was she doing SNT PM today or in the last few days becayse I wasn't able to watch it?
Anyway now I have a reason to watch Sky News Tonight because Ginny is way better than Gillian.
During the opening Ginny gave us a great walk down the studio.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but is the Breaking News graphic slightly different?

It has..its gone from red with white text to how it was before the relaunch white with black text. Still got the red heading though. Wonder why they changed it?

Probably because it looks better! Obviously though, it is now less striking. The Sky News Alert strap has also changed in the same way; I think the changes were made yesterday morning.

The red flash-bar is completely different too. Animates more quickly I think.

Faye Barker features on Sky News Today. Is this her first shift which isn't an overnight?

I think she's done SNT at least once before.

I think Faye has done SNT a few times, as well as Weekends, IIRC.

In fact, with such a huge pool of "regular" presenters, I am amazed that Sky has to rely heavily on fill-ins on almost all of it's programmes. In the last few weeks, I have noted appearances by:

Lucy Alexander / Ursula Errington / Samatha Simmonds / Charlie Stayt / Faye Barker / another girl on the overnights with tight curly black hair - sorry, don't know her name.

Yet, there are other "permanent" presenters who hardly feature at all, and how could probably be used more widely - Helen Fospero / Paula Middlehurst / Juliette Foster.

Bizarre.

Prime News over here (NZ) gets a new look on Monday, and the music is the same as SNUK's except a different version of the TOTH Bed.

The only reason I think everything apart from the set has been copied is because many of the reports are from Sky News Aus/Uk and it'll also be shown (Prime News) on Sky News Aus from Monday.

the set and look doesn't look that bad, at least the theme music will be an improvement over what they've had since 2005. I did like the 2004 theme, it was really cool.
