What is wrong with Sky?

If I wanted to watch GMTV, I'd watch GMTV. If I wanted to watch BBC presenters, I'd watch BBC1.

It's a damning indictment of their current talent they feel the need to ditch them the minute they get a big name.

I know why it's happening - to try and get a big audience to follow the presenter. But in reality it didn't happen with Eamonn Holmes, and it wont happen here.

I really can't understand Sky's scheduling. Anna B on from 7-7.30, then Anna J from 8-10, then Anna B on again from 10-12. What's that all about?

So is this 8-10pm slot proving a ratings hit? Come to mention it has the ratings been boosted after the latest revamp?

Listen to Paul Bromley and you'd beleive so. I tend to think otherwise.

DECISION TIME USA - Pictures and Video up NOW at the blog.

I may be wrong, but do Sky News hardly ever mention or push their Active service at the moment. The big push seems to be on their website which is mentioned before most advert breaks.

Is Active likely to be scaled down?

The fact is it's common practice - there's just a huge merry-go-round; Dermot went from ITN to BBC Breakfast in the first place, Natasha has gone from Sky to the BBC and now to five, Julie Etchingham has gone from Sky to ITV.

Though in the current climate I don't think anyone is trying to get off the merry-go-round and work at the BBC...

What's that got to do with it? What I mean is that one presenter is on for half an hour, then has 2½ hours off, then on again for 2 hours. Why doesn't Anna J do the 7 til 7.30 slot?

Quite shocked Sky News have got their top story as Britney Spears Rolling Eyes I don't think even ITV News did!

What a waste of time it was poaching Gillian Joseph from the BBC when she has been shunted to weekends, and Sunrise of all shows. Bet she is gutted.
