I was watching a video I captured from the first 9am TOTH with Martin, Anna and Anna. I want that style back. I want the three hours of 'News, Comment and Debate' back...


that overblown nonsense where they told us what was 'coming up' before even launching into the actual headlines? Oh well, each to their own.

No that was a load of boll0cks, we all agreed that at the launch. But, the style of being there at the newswall, the pace... just the feel of the TOTH was better than the current crap.

I dont think greg means that, I think he just means he would like to see the TOTH's at the pod, the same type of opening as in visual. Not what the presenters say.

There is a new PDF on the Sky News Press Office website called "Sky News Centre" and it gives two floor maps of the new news centre, telling you where everything is.

Sky News Centre - PDF


That seems an unusually detailed plan to make public, even just via the press site!

But what is Studio B used for??

There's also something called the 'Green rooms' can anybody shed any light on what these are for. Its just that I thought Studio B being the virtusl studio would be enough
