Sky News

I was just coming on here to post the same. Good job it was one of the main anchors on tonight.

Wonder why they havent gone for the two presenter breaking news format.

Steve normally does NSW on Saturday/Sunday nights as well as Sky News at 7/10/Tonight so I guess there is no one else around to do it with him

Sorry, what is NSW?

I'm probably being thick..

News, Sport & Weather.

I was right, I was being thick.

Thank you

Thinking about it, would there always be another presenter around in case the on air presenter was taken ill?

I imagine there wouldn't just be someone sitting around on the offchance that the presenter on-screen starts throwing up over the desk, but there would always be someone around who could continue on-screen until a replacement arrived - the sports presenters for example.

As for Kay sitting she did do news from the desk a few times. I remember the day after they sacked Ginny , Kay did SNT with Mark. Also for one holiday she did the afternnon news with Colin.

She also did the news sitting on the day after the 2007(?) local elections

Sky starting to 'ramp up' their coverage because of the situation in Gaza.

Perhaps there will be some main presenters out there from tomorrow, easing the situation around the virtual studio.

Yep, a few more correspondents out there now like David Bowden, and the Skystrator's been set up in the virtual studio.

I've noticed they've now started to run promos for the return of Jeff Randall Live, 7:30 Monday-Thursday.

EDIT: Looks like there's a fire alarm in the Sky News Centre. Just now there was a sound in the background which I assumed was coming from the location of the person being interviewed in Gaza, but then Lorna cut him off to go into an ad break at the unusual time of 11:05, and have come back with an unscheduled recorded programme which is presumably coming from the main Sky playout area (no DOG or ticker or anything).

Back now, Lorna confirming it was a fire alarm.

Did you capture any of this?
