No idea James, but I should imagine that's what happens when he seemingly disappears for the bottom half of the hour and vice versa for the others.

Sorry, shall re-type:

3) Allows Martin out for a fag, whilst Crosby and Jones continue with the breaking news.......

BTW, SKy News Today (PM) was excellent yesterday, and flowed very nicely. Ginny Buckley, Martin Popplewell and Juliette Foster all worked very well together. I enjoyed it. Even Ginny's Krystle Carrington outfit looked fabulous too.

A bit messy in the past 20 or so minutes as Sky have been cutting here, there, everywhere, into breaks and business repots just to bring a further segment of Bush's speech.

SNT is live with Martin and Kay at Windsor today - although it seems there weren't enough recorded Bruce bits, so we had a rather odd sounding "This is Sky News Today" voiceover with a wide shot of the studio at the top of the hour.

Thoroughly enjoying the coverage from Windsor. Kay Burley really is good at this sort of thing, meeting and kissing the public crowd, and starting up sing songs amongst them.

Her interview with the 80 year old Filipina-American lady was great stuff, and demonstrated immense human connectivity.

Wow, I can't believe I've just written all that. But, it's true.

And another thing, I watched a full edition of WNT last night, top to bottom. I think we will all start to have to admit - Rubin is getting better. There was something very much "watchable" about him last night. His delivery to camera was less stodgy and more fluid.

Ha! Bloody Hilarious!! lol.... anyway the other morning when I saw WNT it was presented by someone else, Tim Marshall I think, he was very good and I quite liked him. I havent seen WNT since relaunch but will watch again soon to see if Rubin has improved!

Sorry about this image, taken by my mobile when I switched over this morning:

What is unusual about this is that this hour is always live (or so I thought) and this DOG is completely out of the ordinary, what with the clock displaying ) 0:22 instead of 12:22, and it appearing to cover something up. Anybody know what is the reasoning behind this?

looks strange. both the way it looks like it is covering something and the fact it doesn't say 12.
