Is Neil Sean ill? I saw him on sunrise just a moment ago and he looks thinner than ever.

Nice to see James Rubin back on with Colin and Gillian tonight.

I had not seen him on air in ages!

I think someone suggested that he has a 3 year contract so no renewal until next year.....not sure though.

I know for a fact that for atleast two weeks prior to the relaunch they were in live rehersals, so that takes you to early october. Eamonn would probably have been involved in discussions before that and I seem to remember his signing was announced in the early summer.

Chances are I think he'll go at he beginning of the summer, if his contract isn't renewed (i think I read at the time it was £2 million), because he does have alot of time off over the summer and he also does this morning for itv as well, so I think he'll go sooner rather than later.

Shocking inconsistency from Sky News by not showing the funeral of Jane Tomlinson. News 24 are covering it.

They covered bits of it, but not the whole service. And the bits that were shown were upset by Burley talking about nonsense.

More inconsistency- Charlotte Hawkins presenting Saturday Live alongside Steve Dixon! Can presenters not stay in one place for long??

Looks as though Sky News is set for a completley new schedule.

Quite strange really as it is only for this week that the schedule looks like this,anyone know what is going on?

sky.com news at 7.30 each night? What could that be all about? An extension of "your top 3"? If so, eek.

Also, I notice that Steve Dixon has his name in the title for News at 10 and SNTonight on Friday evenings, yet no other.

So what is going to happen to the likes of Stamford, Jones, Brazier and Joseph?
