Sky News at 7- different, could work- but why Anna Botting and not Anna Jones?

My 2 cents;

Sunrise - needs a shake up to bring it in line. But good program. They need to make a decision whether they want rolling news - present from desk, or relaxed format - shoebox.
Sky Today - piss poor at the moment. Nothing original. Present from newswall.
Have Julie at newswall, covering the top story and other features, interviewing guests dealing with breaking news etc.
Sam/Colin doing short newsupdates from the mezz.
Afternoon Live - Great, best program of the day. Makes afternoons watchable. Offers real alternative to news24.
Live at 5 - Good. Provides an all round half decent look at the days stories. As flagship program could make better use of newswall/led screen.
SN@7 - Different. Not too bad. Makes the whole channel seem a bit fresher after 2hrs of JT. Could do with distinguishing it a bit more though. If JT's is a fast paced info driven program, why not slow it down from 7. Present from showbox.
Jeff Randall - Good program. Really very good. Sticks out a bit though due to opening titles.

Are we talking next Monday,Tomorrow or like the New Year?

It would make sense if they were holding back to see if there was an election but other than that i dont see the problem with debuting it all today.

Well if that is true, GOOD!
On the whole, liked Afternoon Live, best programme of the new schedule I think.
