Just read this on Wikipedia about Sky News Today:
From January 29, 2007, Mark Longhurst will present the morning show alongside Anna Jones.

But the point I'm making is Sky News have went from one extreme, walking around the studio Ginny down the stairs, to another extreme, sitting at the desk for 3 hours using the newswall once every hour.
They need to find a balance between these two, openings at the pod etc.


See the opening from 2005 didnt work with three presenters and too much fluf before you got to the headlines.

But the actual use of the studio before relaunch was a lot better than the bland behind the desk all the time set up they are using now.

Wikipedia isnt exactly reliable.

EDIT: Ewww. Just used Bed 3 (the **** new Top Stories Bed) at xx15 with a voice over 'This Is Sky News, With Steve Dixon' and the music is just too bland.

I hope everyone 'enjoyed' Dancing On Ice at the weekend. I was interested to hear Kay getting upset at being 'patronised' at one point...

Ginnyfan,

That cap above just perfectly sums up La Burley for me actually........ anyone seen the old Christmas News spoof she did together with Gordon Honeycombe in TV-AM? It's priceless. See it on YouTube somewhere under TVAM gaffes or something.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but Kay managed to mention that she's from Wigan, has a 13 year old son and eats a fish supper - trying to pull the "i'm just an ordinary working woman card". Laughable.

"Sky News with Martin Stanford - Sky News with Martin Stanford airs on weeknights between 8:00pm and 10:00pm. Presented by Martin Stanford, the show encourages viewers to contribute using webcams and 3G mobile phones to send in video messages, or join in debates regarding the issues of the day. The show will end, with Martin Stanford rejoining Julie Etchingham on Sky News Today, on 29 January. "

This is from wikipedia. I know it's not a reliable source, but is there anything to show this may be happening?

Would be great if it is! As much as I love Martin's show, I'd love to see him and Julie back together. What would they put in the 8-10 slot?

If it's true, well thank god for that! Although Colin Brazier is good, he's pretty lifeless. I've never warmed to him at all.
