It does rather make you wonder what planet Sky News are on when they have, at various points over the past week, run segments on ''the future of television'' and presenters make comments about how broadcasting via the internet is the future, how the landscape is changing, how TV could be a dying medium... and all the while they have one of the worst websites of any major news broadcaster.
There was a time about 5 years ago when they tried to broadcast things live, but the server just crashed couldn't cope with demand, so they stopped. Since then, there has been not one live event broadcast, the design has hardly changed since 1998... it really is dismal. You'd have hoped that they would've spent a bit of cash on it when they moved house, but no.
From their TV coverage, you'd think they posessed a fantastic website with tonnes of video and live events, and instead it's all recorded and badly structured. Even the recent aquisition of Easy Net hasn't done much good... Sky.com got a new homepage, but that's the lot.
Can only hope that the new boss recognises the potential a little more.
