I wonder where Andrew will fit in.

Presumably he is in the weekday schedule if he is starting on Sept 3rd(Monday).

Perhaps he will co-present the prime time coverage with Anna B.

Well funnily enough he didn't know she was going to die that particular night...

Why? When Colin started in the studio, he was on weekend sunrise. Why would Andrew be any different?

I think the evening schedule needs something similar to what Fox news started with in 1996. 15 minute segments focused around a topic, such as 'Sky on Crime', 'Sky on Politics', 'Sky on Business', 'Sky on Sport'.

The reason why I suggest this, is that this could be quite a versatile format. For example they could do specials like 'Sky on Diana'.

Weirdly enough the Sky News DOG and clock have been added to this clip but they're from the look that wasn't introduced until November 1997.

There's much more of it on Sky News active at the moment.

Not sure how long they stayed on air, but Kay joined Martin just after 5am, but he stayed for a while longer.

Would someone be able to YouTube it for those without Sky?

Why on earth isn't Skynews broadcasting Diana's Memorial Mass?
