Apologies if this has been covered, but how do they broadcast the service to the train stations etc?

Tonight's Stanford show is the final one, apparently.

I wonder if the comment of Martin returning to Sky News Today PM with Julie is going to be true.

Hopefully Sky News Today will go back to the format before the relaunch. Would be nice if the swap Anna Jones and Julie Etchingham around. Martin & Julie always worked so well together. Who do we think will get the 20:00-0:00 slot?

He's moving to Sky News Today AM, with Anna Jones.

it's ridiculous OFCOM can make a decision based on a consultation that involved just 21 people (and 12 organisations). Anyone who has even just touched on statistics in school would know a sample of 21 people can't begin to accurately reflect the views of 10m viewers.
The consultation was with everyone - it was just 21 people that responded. Hence the conclusion that few people care one way or another.

Meanwhile, the thing I can't understand - why simulcast Sunrise on Sky One?

To attempt to give Sky One a bit of credibility perhaps? Although that's a bit difficult as the channel is generally rubbish, and Sky News isn't the best of news services given the current situation that's developing.

Paul said that he's going back to his old slot with Anna Jones. I think they are good together. I also like Julie and Colin, so they finaly have two strong teams for SNT. Now if they would make the presentation better, like it was before, maybe something good could come out of this.
But I'll miss his evening show,just watching it now, and I can't understand why are they canceling it? Were the ratings so bad?
It looked like people were watching it and taking part in it a lot. But it will surely get better ratings than 15 minutes news round-up.

Couldn't they just give the job to Steve Dixon or someone? It would have been the simplest option instead of having a radical change like this.

maybe the decision is more to do with cost than merely changing presenters around.

What's going to be on between 8 and 10 from now on then?

News wraps, similar to the weekend format.
