Where is the business coming from, the wall or is it green-screened?

I hope they display a nice graphic on the newswall. The current TOTH background would brighten the place up a bit aswell.

Also, anyone noticed the subtle change to the live split screen background? Its slightly recoloured, and looks much better with just a little change. Its a slightly darker blue.


Wonder if there might be a few other minor graphics edits this week too.

Maybe this darker blue is a hint at the colour of the new look newsroom??


Well I now understand there will be "some" minor graphics changes on Wednesday.

If the TOTH/Coming Up 'environment' is about to be scrapped I may have to kill someone.

Seeing Gillian Joseph on Active tonight, she is very good actually. She should be given a better role at Sky.

She's exactly what happened with Anna Jones, she given up a good job at the BBC for Sky, then they just ditch her to news summaries for 10 minutes an hour that just a few thousand see. At least with BBC, she had a prominent role with BBC London, and BBC Breakfast.

Also, why does Mark Longhurst look as miserable as hell everything he's on?

Also Eamonn is very good on Sunrise, just need to get someone on with him.

Anna Jones does business updates and is in for Jeff Randall tonight.

Mark Longhurst is usually quite fun on weekend Sunrise.

Eamonn has plenty of 'banter' with Charlotte, the paper reviewers and especially with Jacqui Beltrao.

'Minor' as in a great big fat '20' will be slapped indiscriminately over absolutely everything at every single available opportunity.

Gillian is flawed in one vital aspect - she has zero personality, whereas Anna Jones does which is why it is so tragic to see her on business.

In related news Steve Dixon has very nice eyebrows these days, I didn't think he'd always plucked but I saw him on Sunday and just noticed them. Beautiful - more men should do it.

I know what you saying, but she was deffinatley different on what I have seen on Sky News Active today, seemed to be more herself.

No danger of the snow disrupting the graphics then?
