Its at the other end of the scale from what we had when they first moved to the new centre, fast paced, moving all over the place, 3 presenters!
Now its single headed, slow, and lifeless!

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?


If you look at the week after, it goes back to the original schedule.


Yes but the other week has not been updated,the week with the "new schedule" is the only one that has been updated recently.

This is scary. 4 presenters doing solo on one day is just stupid and boring. What will happen to Martin,Anna and the others. I can't believe what are they doing to the channel. Why scrap Lunchtime Live, I thought it had the best ratings.

No prob

Have to say i didnt believe it a first,like what happens to Martin Stanford and Anna Jones.

They are surley 2 of the best,surely they wont be dropped.

Yes, Martin and Anna were the only good thing on the channel lately.

If Anna Jones was dropped, I'm sure she'd feel somewhat upset, I mean she's really one of the only successful new signings since the 2005 relaunch. I cant believe they may be dropping Martin aswell, surely they could just put him with Julie!!!

Yeah have to say i dont buy it just yet.

Perhaps Anna B wont be on for 5 hours and Martin and Anna J could do News At 10.

It just seems really strange to think they would drop all those big names

And a 4 hour shift will hardly go down well with Ms Burley....or the viewers.

I doubt they will have a doubled headed programme at this time considering the rest of the day is single headed. Anna B does rather well in the later slot and I like her being on air from 9 to 12.

The whole reason I can't take this schedule seriously is the fact that Lunchtime Live has been dropped, I remember when The Sky Report and World News Tonight went, it was said Lunchtime Live was a ratings winner, so why axe it?
I just hope that if this schedule is true, they bring back the branding. Most bulletins are now "Sky News" and not "Sky News Today" etc. Just putting the SNT logo on the newswall would be nice.

Anna B can't even handle 3 hours she has now,I don't mean that in a bad way, it's that she's almost never doing her slot, it's always Martin P. or Steve.
Anna Jones & Martin are consistent and I'm used to seeing them in the morning. This schedule is crap if it's true.

Someone mentioned Burley wouldn't like 4 hours...She would love it. The one great thing about the relaunch was the halving of Kay Burley's air time.

Gillian Joseph is dreadful.
