Sunday Live with Steve & Lorna. The opening was like old Sky News Today. They were both at the mini desk, and then Lorna walked to the main desk.

I've noticed that Sky News have had trouble playing out the Sky promos for most of the day (stuttering and drop out of the sound). It turns out its not just the Sky promos though, it seems to be whatever the last thing is before they come back from the break. I just saw a Bupa ad stuttering and then straight back to Sky News afterwards.

This is on the main (not Ireland or cable) DSAT feed.

Great video. It's so exciting to work there. I wish they would make they on air look more exciting too.

You're right - it's good. Wonder when they filmed it - it's 5 mins long. I guess it's filmed in sections.

A saw an advert yesterday for News 24 live streming online. Surely Sky News have to follow suit and stream live on the web as well.

Looks like its a blue screen in the corner of the newsroom, theres a lot of background noise. Then just clips as you say that can be re-ordered. Whens that from seems to be mainly old stories that were in the news yesterday?

Further to this, I've found some more really good behind the scenes videos posted by Sky News. You can also re-live Derek Tedder getting tasered!

Sky News website should change. it's annoying waiting for the main headline to appear with the top story flash thing.
