Sky News

Oh well I didn't know about cable.

If you're watching on Sky Digital satellite, you don't get the signing - you have to press red and go into Active and it's there as one of the screens.

You will most likely get the 4:3 international feed without a clock or ticker. Don't know if the "countdown" is on the international feed.
I don't know why they bother anyway since the presenters always do timechecks and there are programmes like Live at 5 and Sky News at Ten.

Just checked and the international version has the same countdown clock as on the UK feed. Presumably the length of Jo Wheeler's skirt is also the same on both versions. At least I assume it was a skirt.

that skirt should be compulsory uniform for all weather presenters me thinks.

Even Francis Wilson ????

I've just put Sky News on to see the following

BREAKING NEWS
SKY NEWS WINS INTERNATIONAL EMMY
AWARD FOR BREAKING NEWS

Wonder how long that will be there...

Indeed. They've won it for coverage of the London bombings. Isn't that when Sky was widely criticised for flashing up unconfirmed, and as it turned out, untrue information?

Along with every other channel, yes.

But they were still leagues ahead on the day.

From TV Newsroom Forums:

Sky News has announced the appointment of a Viewers' Editor to reflect viewers' comments and opinions sent to Sky News through emails and texts.

Former political correspondent Paul Bromley takes up the new on-air role and will give a human face to viewers' contributions.

Paul’s brief will include collating and sorting all viewer correspondence, acting like a newspaper’s letters page editor; identifying potential interviewees, including webcam contributors; developing news angles; and deciding which contributions to broadcast. Paul will appear on Sky News to reflect the range of viewers’ opinions on important running stories. He will also write a weekly article for the Sky News website (sky.com/news) to highlight viewers' sentiments.

Does this just mean something like, comments on news storiees.
Or - options on eg. Graphics, News Presentation, etc..?

i just assumed it was opinions on the news, but come to think of it views on the actual channel would be good. if they actually allowed it... lol

Oh dear.
Just what we need- more views from the joe bloggs 'hang 'em and flog 'em" brigade.

it'll be about 'opinions' on the news stories - they did something like this on Live at 5 straight after the relaunch where some producer came on and read out the comments from Jeremy's weblog. TV really has become obsessed with 'interactivity' lately.
