I promised to tell you more about the graphics changes as soon I had more information.
The design changes have now been approved.
You'll be able to see the new look on air by the end of this month.
The exact date depends on some technical issues still to be resolved.
The changes will involve:
*a new way of alerting you to breaking news
*a redesigned ticker
*a "richer" on-screen look

That's certainly what I've heard. Urgency of a story dictated by it's colour. But this all just rumours.
Sounds a bit arbitary - and, if they do that, I wonder how long it'll be before everything just ends up red...
Still, enough of the cynicism. I'm all for a bit of innovation, and this all sounds interesting - so I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with. Even if it does turn out to be awful...

Could that be the colour, or maybe something else.

Oh, shame. When I initially read it I had this image of a dwarf with a claxon running across the studio.
Certainly attention-grabbing.

A thought about this awful 15 minute format - if you were a company wanting to buy a TV advertising slot, would you buy it in an evening Sky News slot?
Constantly reminding us that it's the news "in 15 minutes, every 15 minutes" makes it quite clear that 20:15 will be a repeat of 20:00, so at 20:12 you're going to switch over. No sane person could watch exactly the same thing repeatedly, so very few people are going to stay through an ad break.
I can't imagine the old Stanford show was particularly expensive (in relative terms), so given that:
- if someone wants a quick summary of the news they're likely to get it online or though an interactive service
- no-one would stay tuned for any extended length of time
- it is (it appears to me) unattractive to advertisers,
why do Sky think this is a good idea?
