You would of thought they could of tidied all those cables away - why is it so hard to use a wireless keyboard? Rolling Eyes

Otherwise looking promising - not what I'd expected though.

That guy does those bizzare comments on every single blog post on the Sky News site, every day. Really weird.

Anyway, looks very nice. And of course that's just the shoebox, we've yet to see what the new main desk area looks like yet.

Very Very Nice........I hope the main set is at good

But surely they will have those cables sorted by tomorrow - it would be terrible to air the set like that!

The new studio/set will put the BBC News channel's broom cupboard of a studio to shame - I suppose the BBC NC won't get a spectacular set until it moves to Broadcasting House in 2011.

Is that the touch screen they used for the US election last year?

Looks like it could be, but I hope not - I think that would just ruin Sunrise

With the changes coming in a few hours, perhaps someone in the know could hint at what graphics changes we may see, and which shows will be presented from which area of the newsroom. Which shows will come from the Shoebox, which will come from the newswall island, and which will come from the desk with the newsroom as a backing...

You don't like the BBC's N6 studio. We get it. Now please change the record.

Even if it is there's nothing to say they'll use the touch screen function - what's to say they can't use it as an ordinary screen? Would seem a waste of money if it's not going to be used again!

All sounds very promising - looking forwards to tomorrow Smile

LOVE the Sunrise logo on the huuuge screen, hope it looks as fab on air. Almost as ace as the OTT 3D Sky News logo on the business updates from Fox in New York.
