Well, so far we've heard from Wikipedia:
Mark Longhurst is anchoring Sky News Today AM with Anna Jones
Martin Stanford is anchoring Sky News Today PM with Julie Etchingham
The graphics will get a change to co-incide with the changes on the Website, which launches in March.

All from January 29th - Intresting if true!

Maybe if Martin goes back to Sky News Today then it may return to the old way with alot of movement and Martin up at the newswall etc.Anything but sitting behind a desk for 3 hours!

I have a question off-topic: Are there any sites of SKY News presenters (like stevedixon.biz or the site of Allan King)?
Or are there not official - sites of the presenters?

Thanks

Will SKY NEWS with Martin Stanford still be on if he is going back to doing SKY NEWS Today

As Martin does amateur dramatics as a hobby, perhaps he wants a day job again to keep his evenings free?

.......he sometimes forgets and introduces a little bit of drama into his presenting, methinks......

Oh, for god's sake.

It is on WIKIPEDIA.

Don't you think Sky might've issued a press release first if they were going to reshuffle their presenter pack so fundamentally?

Look at the Wikipedia article and track who had made the edits.

There really is a striking amount of idiocy on this site sometimes.

I wonder if this is true. Many people here wanted the two of them back together. They should put Martin Popplewell on Stanford's show,he was very good replacing him. What will happen to poor old Colin,he'll go from 2 slots to none. Sad Sad Sad Maybe he'll get Martin's show?

Well I've emailed Paul Bromley about this and he responded to me Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy with this:
''Hello

Thank you for your email.

Ignore Wikipedia about the presenter changes. None of it is true.

As for the graphics, yes, they are changing but not on January 29. I have put a comment on my blog about this in response to other viewers' comments http://skynews3.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/01/picture_this.html

Best wishes

Graphics: Wikipedia is wrong about the date. It is one of the inherent dangers of the internet that not all the information is correct.

But I think wikipedia did get it right when the entry said: "Many other channels have attempted to mimick (sic) and emulate Sky's standards and methods with varying degrees of success."

It is no secret that we are working on a change to our graphics look. It will concentrate initially on what we call the "lower third" of the screen .

Our current plan is to make the change in the next few weeks - but not January 29.

Titles/look: This is a longer-term project and you won't see the changes until the spring at the earliest.

Globe: As I said in the "Spanning The Globe", our international coverage is more - much more - than just the issue of whether we restore the globe to our title sequence.
