New newswall background possibly?!

There's a documentary on at 9.30pm, which makes 10pm for the change more viable I guess.

you'll notice changes to the ident, a tweak to the straps, and the biggest change will be something happening on the newswall.


Sounds good to me!
Are we living in the final hours of the globe?

Just wondering, you guys who watch Sky News regularly, what do you think of the on screen graphics now?

Have they grown on you and you now like them, or are they still as bad as ever in your opinion?

They've grown on me a bit although my feelings about that sodding yellow breaking news bar remain the same. What I generally mutter to myself rhymes with 'clanging bell' Laughing.

I guess that's why I'm intrigued by this whole 'tweaking staps' thing going on tonight. Couldn't really care less about toth - it's on about 15 seconds out of the hour, but the grpahics we all have to live with.

They need to change the schedule and anchors.

No graphics on air at the moment, apart from the astons that are burnt onto the special programme airing at the moment.

Update obviously happening as we speak.

The white stripes are in front of the newswall and desks I think, either way it looks good, but is it worth a wow?

Some high res caps from tonight;

All in all I quite like the new newswall background, but I'm not keen on how they are doing the weather now. i assume this background will change for different programs? I can't exactly see this working well for Afternoon live.

New newspaper background aswell, which is OK. haven't got a cap of that yet.

Straps look nicer than before.
I've posted a few little caps, but I've had to post them small as it's taking a long time to upload them tonight.
