Why don't Sky stream Sky News Australia on Sky News Active over here? Is it because their music and graphics are much better and don't want to be emabrassed by their offerings?

It would be nice to get the odd half hour over night on the main channel itself.

Yes. I am sure that is the reason. 100% sure. Definite. Completely convinced. So positively sure I'm willing to bet my house on that.

You seriously think they would do that? They might aswell though as in the TOTH's the programme name must get mentioned at least 3-4 times.

Well, as you're the creator of the programme, why don't you tell us what it would be? Rolling Eyes

You're kidding, right? Sky News Australia's music is rubbish. They've taken a great theme and have ruined it with cheap dance track mixes. The graphics are in many respects a poor imitation of those in the UK's - and where they completely differ, they're just plain crap.

The funny thing is about this is that the ordinary viewer wouldn't know the title of the programme and only identifies it as Sky News.

Matt Smith was impressive earlier. They did a bit on Twitter suffering from a DOS attack during Afternoon Live and he really knew his stuff. I'm used to him doing the entertainment news, but he's clearly quite into his tech stuff as well. Proving to be a great cover on SkyNews.com while Martin is away.

That's odd. I shouldn't think so. Still working fine this end.
