I haven't managed to watch Sky News during the day recently, has Martin Stanford been on at all?


No, I've not seen him since the Budget coverage.



Anyone think the Wiki rumours are true or is he just on holiday?

It looks really weird seeing Sky News on Fox News. Has Fox News got a new London newsroom/studio? When theyve been going to London they normally have screens ect behind them.

Sky's new graphics working really well this afternoon.

They can have a realy big 'NAVY CREW IN IRAN BEING FREED' on their strap, whilst the yellow ticker goes into much more information, and has lots of different breaking news reports on it.

I agree the graphics are really useful, just their apperance needs to be worked on.

As I no longer have Sky News [Virgin Media customer] could someone post screen caps of the Breaking News straps?

Interesting that Sky News left their graphics on during the ads just before 3pm today.

Sky News Active played out the break filler as normal so obviously at least one of their playout systems knew ads were being shown at this time. If the system used to take the graphics off failed, does that mean that the cable/ireland opt outs also would have failed too?

I can't figure out how this would happen - as far as I understand it (and I didn't think this had changed), ads are played out by transmission rather than coming from the studio output, and this is a reason why the graphics disappear. The fact the graphics are still there suggest the ads were played out by the studio.

i don;t know i anyone has brought this up by as 'breaking news' is used for rather minor events nowdays, is there another level up for major events, for example on the scale of the london bombings or similar. im not very familiar - is there some sort of newsflash strap or somethng?
