Does anyone have video of Sky News Today (pm) or Live at 5 please? I missed the TOTH for both...


As far as I know there are 4 places you can get captures of the programmes on Sky News today.

Bail was the first to post images and video from the relaunch, there's an index of the videos he captured at the beginning of this thread.

The TV Room has some of the captures from this morning, as well as the 2 promos. I can't see anything after Sunrise on there at the moment.

The TV Newsroom has a number of images from throughout the day, although I can't see much in the way of video there yet.

tvidents.co.uk has larger images and video from pretty much everything apart from Live at 5, which will be online soon, videos are in MP4 and pages may take a while to load on slower connections.

Hope you can find what you're looking for from that!

After being able to watch it a couple of time during the day, I still think it is excellent mostly. My itchings are:

* The music on the very end of the ident at the top of the hour (or "intermission" music as someone on the Live at 5 blog called it, and had it read out on the "Blogspot" segment on the show) is too loud.

I hope they don't do what they have done with things like this in the past and scrap it completely and replace it with something else, because it is a good piece of music; all they need to do is tone down the sig notes at the end.

* The captions where the slug for a story appears, and then the name caption appears above it. Too cluttery, even with the new on-screen layout and widescreen. I also don't like the Five News style for correspondent captions all on one line.

* Agree with others on the sport blocks, lose the chit chat for most of them.

* I'm not too sure about the triple anchored Sky News Today, their doesn't seem to be much point for a third anchor. There might be if the Sky News Today blocks were four hours long instead of three. At least the chit chat hasn't gone down Fox & Friends, where they get away with being hugely biased, mostly against Democratic Party politicans.

Nice touch with the vizrt 3D inset graphics, used on Sunrise for a story illustration on teenage football "wonders", and the spinning cube on Live at Five; yes, they were probably inspired by Fox News, but they still look good.

Heres the Lunchtime Live open from Lee's site, he's got the wrong URL to the download, but I worked it out!

There's something about the positioning of the DOG i'm not sure of. It seems too far in (I know they need to make it 4:3 compatable but it's the Active/Web/Email bit which makes it look a bit strange).

Sky News Ireland looking nice. Tweaked set to include the new Sky News Ireland logo and new titles and graphics, as expected.

I only caught the end of the opening, it features a sting with the Sky News Ireland logo and the v/o. I missed the pre-headlines titles. Grainne now has her own little desk!

The pre-headline titles for SNI feature the normal "newsroom rush"ident with a Sky News Ireland logo superimposed. The after headlines sting is as teleonline has said, the globe background thingy with the logo on it and the voiceover: "Live from Ireland, Sky News with Grainne Seoige."

Just heard the sting again on Sky News Ireland and the music sounds slightly different to the one we've been hearing all day. It sounds more like the old end-of-the-hour music.
