Certainly looks like it. Weird backdrop wherever the guest is sitting.

Indeed he is, very convincing though. Once again, its due to the work going on in the news centre, leaving parts of the newsroom rather empty looking.

Yeah, it is very good - to be honest it's more the audio that gives it away than anything, it sounds as if he's sitting in a broom cupboard rather than the huge news centre.

Yeah, but they could have done that shot live right? And the only other camera angle used on Sky News.com doesn't feature any desks. So they must be doing work up on the balcony?

Also interesting, on the SKY EPG, tonight at 11 is listing as Sky News on the Hour instead of Tonight, and Paper Review instead of Press Preview gets it own listing.

Just saw an angle where it looks like the desks behind the main desk have been removed.

It's going to take quite a while then because Spring starts in March? The way he has worded it as a "new-look" is this a total relaunch, with new music and graphics as well do you think?

So that's GMTV, Sunrise and [potentially] Breakfast relaunching in the first half of next year!
