Sky News

Chris was presenting the 5-12 edition again last night...someone mentioned on this that he is hard to work with. Is there any evidence of this?

Definately strange that Colin Brazier is doing both Sky News Todays', and Faye Barker back on Sunrise...change in the air to mark the 1st anniversary of the relaunch?

Is Lorna Dunkley on holiday or has she also fallen foul of the presetner reshuffle

Noticed that today's Sky News Today were branded as Sky News?

Dont get me started, If you take a look at pictures from the relaunch day you will see how good it looked, Sky News Today branding, news from the newswall pod. Using the stairs for contact info. Fantastic shots, now its just utterly drab.

because they've slowly dismantled teh today branding in bits, you don't realise how much it's changed. there were flaws with it just after the relaunch, but they've just gone too far now and killed it.

New schedule needed, and fast. The random presenter schedule is getting to me. Not that I mind, I just find it stupid that Colin is on both SNT's for example.

Knowing me there'll be a mock schedule posted soon.

Sorry if i've missed something, but, where's Mark?

Faye's had a long day, I've just seen her present a Five News update.

Interesting news re: Times Online/Sky News tie up today.

Sky seem to be providing a sort of slimmed-down version of what's available on Sky News Active to the Times website, and in return Times content will appear on Sky News Online.

Sounds curious although perhaps slightly disappointing in a sense... i.e. the extra depth and content that Ryley promised in his Independent interview will not come from more Sky journalists but instead from external sources. Would presumably be in a similar style to the way their business section is run - just content from the Motley Fool site.

Either way, reassuring to see they are finally taking the internet just a little more seriously. The new website can't come soon enough.

josh205 thanks for those pics of ginny. I sure miss her and the relunch look, now it's really boring.

yeah it looked nice and flashy - but ultimately it looked ridiculous and showed that the channel was losing its focus and becoming overly obsessed with presentation rather than actual news content (and ratings reflected that). I'm glad that they've gone back to what they used to do best.
