Sky News

Its changed a few times in the last couple of days.

Sky News AU have been putting a static tower logo over the UK one, and adding a ".com.au" web address to the clock area. Beaneath the logo you can still see something spinning.

The tower itself is noticeably higher than all the Sky News UK headline straps, for whatever reason; not that it helps everything line up properly anyway.

I notice the "Sky News Active" red wipe got updated too, but it still has a thin sliding logo?

CK.

Tower is higher cos the white line is thicker and UK moved the graphics down a bit.

Yes, I noticed that as well.

I noticed that the weather graphic had been dropped from Sunrise this morning.

I thought it may have looked better if it was to the left of the tower.

The weather bug was there in the early 6am hour, but it looked like it was causing some interference on the rest of the graphic overlays so was removed.

This 'Inside Iraq' strand is really good. Just a pity Rubin was brought in last night! I'd much rather see him do high profile interviews rather than anchor coverage!

I noticed yesterday that the weather presenters were also getting name captions...

Also still no weather graphic this morning - hopefully it's gone for good.....maybe they could incorporate the weather info into the ticker?

As much as I initially loathed the new graphics, they are starting to grow on me a tiny bit.

They are a bit too americanised though - especially the maps etc designed for Inside Iraq week - all the 3D tilty-ness makes me slightly dizzy, and that spinning globe in the background of the Iraq statistics map is just yuck.

What happened to the tower this morning - I watched about 45 mins of sunrise this morning and it was nowhere to be seen?

Not sure, but it's back now.

From appointment to view to whenever you want, in the last week I have noticed presenters all over the place, I know many are out in Iraq but still nice to see a presenter lottery.
Julie was good on News at Ten the other night, really think she deserves a primetime slot on her own, maybe 8-10 if this stupid headline every 15 min bit continues.
