Kay Burley is not only a Michael Jackson, politics and war expert, she can add football to that too.


I agree. That is what makes her such a great presenter. Most presenters have one strong area....Dermot Murnaghan=Business, Andrew Wilson+Jeremy Thompson=Foreign Affairs etc. but Kay Burley has the knowledge of almost every field

That "extra bit" on the island they have added, it looks as though it was made to be the other way round, because its slightly curved, but the way they have it, the curve goes against the curve of the island itself, and looks odd in wide shots.

They could do some nice presentations at the newswall itself now it has a lot of floor space in front, but never do anything. Shame they just use the island all the time.

I don't understand how you can say that Dermot is only strong on business???

Sarah-Jane Mee working all hours again. Sunrise headlines yesterday, Sky Sports News last night and back to Sunrise headlines again today


As far as I'm concerned she should present every shift on every Sky channel every single day. She is absolutely breath-taking.


Don't forget she co-hosts Cricket AM on Sky Sports 1 every Saturday morning too!!

Kay Burley referenced that incident a few weeks ago this p.m. In a conversation with sports presenter Nick Powell, I can't quite recall his comments but she said "I won't say anything, else it'll be in the papers again."

You mean Kay is the only presenter who takes it upon herself to try and bullsh*t her way trhough Michael Jackson, politics, war and football, whereas Dermot, Andrew and Jeremy actually know what they're talking about, even if (in your strange little world) they only have one strong area??

I can assure you I am already well aware of this fact - but thank you anyway.

Unfortunately for you she has a boyfriend! He goes by the name of Geraint Vincent....Who's he???!!!!! Laughing


Yes, although I suspect the presence of one slightly smug, Welsh tv reporter is not the only obstacle in my path to Sarah Jane's heart.

I think the original comment was sarcastic

Really? I can't tell what's sarcastic in this place because there are too many kids who probably mean it sincerely.

This is how I think Sky News should look, every hour is live news and double headed;

06.00-09.00 SKY NEWS SUNRISE Eamonn Holmes & Lorna Dunkley

09.00-13.00 SKY NEWS TODAY Dermot Murnaghan & Anna Jones

13.00-17.00 SKY NEWS TODAY Colin Brazier & Kay Burley

17.00-20.00 SKY NEWS CENTRE Jeremy Thompson & Anna Botting

20.00-00.00 SKY NEWS TONIGHTMartin Stanford & Samantha Simmonds

I would axe Jeff Randall Live, and make him a contributor and merge SkyNews.com into general programming.

I think we've established this isn't going to happen. Double heading doesn't bother me any more. In fact looking at other double headed couples on other news channels, it kinda looks awkward.

But more than that, it will cost Sky too much to have 2 big names on together.
