Lets hope this makes the execs take this refurbishment work as an opportunity to bring some variety to the on-screen presentation (Set and Camera shots) from here on in.
I know the whole 2007 TV Scandals took their tole on News Presentation going "back to basics", but as their viewership declines, and as others try their own "back to basics" ideas, sky should go back to 2001-2002 and be brave and unique once more.
I would hope they would consider changing the predominant blues and reds in the news centre, either to include some colour changeable elements, or go for something more interesting as in, Purples, Oranges, Teals, with the odd red, blue and yellow bits here and there, it would be able to work with new colour schemes for the graphics, and be a less anemic feel for the newsroom shots.
Purple and orange? Sky News should be red and blue! I hate they got this two colour pallettes going at the moment, its either blue/red or black/red/white. Wish they would make their mind up.
If I had my way they should go back to red and navy blue, and not this washy blue colour they're using right now.
I agree onsky - sorry Martin - usually agree with you on everything!
Personally, I think that Sky News have just established the current look; since 1998 we have come to identify Sky News with blue, red and white. I also think that the current astons and graphics look good.
However, the titles are not great; I always liked the ones used when they moved to the new centre in 2005, yet changing to purple, oranges and teals would mean that Sky News would loose its identity and confuse people more.
I also think that such a radical move would scream "we do not know what we are any more".
Sky News should be very careful about whatever changes it has in the pipeline. The schedule changes every five seconds, the graphics change every five seconds and Anna Botting's shifts change every five seconds.
Some stability is long overdue on Sky News!!!
Yeah, you are completley right. In 2005, all graphics were simple, yet classy and bold. What we have now is more cheap and tacky. Sky News has even lost its music identity, because the TOTH is a different piece to the headline music.
Programmes are scheduled too differently, yet remains mostly the same content, with a mess being made of programme names.
Thats why I think Sky Sports News works so much better, its presentation is simple, but it works.
I think before 2005, people could tune into Sky News, and could get the news straight away, with a strong identity. Now, we have a dismantled identity, and programmes that fluff the content up too much.
I would keep programmes like Sunrise, and Live at Five, Dot Com but return the rest of the schedule to just Sky News. Stop with this Afternoon Live, Weekend Lunchtime, News,Sport and Weather mess.
They should take a huge leaf out of Sky Sports News and Sky News Australia's book.

I think that they have done a bloody good job, if I'm honest, especially the fake newswall bit they use for the business news. The only problem with it all is that it shows how badly they used the set before if they can recreate it so simply and make it barely noticeable to the untrained eye!
Will be interesting to see what they've done - I'd have thought it would have been finished for tomorrow, ready for Obama's inauguration this coming week. They're going to have a lot more viewers than normal, perfect time to show off something shiny and new.
