Sky News

Do we really need to do all these 'fantasy schedules'?

We could be here for weeks posting these things, but at the end of the day, you know nothing will change. It's not exactly a constructive discussion about Sky News is it?

There are no schedule changes planned for the near future and tbh there is no need for them,sure it would be good for Paula to be a bit more involved on the main bulletins but that hardly requires a compete rethink of what the channel has become.

To have a mixture of double and single headed programming is just too messy and within weeks there would be complaints on here of people not being in the correct slot,a double headed show having one presenter etc.

sarah hughes (skys royal correspondant) presenting sky news today, yet gillian joseph ( a more experienced presenter) sidelined to doing news summaries. What is going on with sky news?

Have to say Sky News Today suits Sarah's style very well (compared to her Afternoon Live shift a few months ago)

But yes again, a more experienced presenter who looks to be sidelined

Gilian is now doing The Live Desk. Who did the morning Live Desk?

Im guessing someone might not have been able to come to work at short notice today since the bulletin wench/Live Desk shifts aren't usually combined anymore

Does anybody know why Sky's "a" team are gone again after only coming back from holidays?

Charlotte did the Live Desk at 9:00am as well as Sunrise.

Sounds like there was a real presenter shortage this morning for some reason. I guess Colin, Dermot and Mark who normally work Mondays were all off but one of them was a last minute thing.

That would explain why Sarah did SNT instead of Gillian as presumably Sarah was originally down to do The Live Desk, but since the SNT presenter couldn't make it, Charlotte stayed on an extra hour to do The Live Desk and Sarah took SNT instead.

Is it only my BT Vision box, but it has the Afternoon Live desk down as 'Live at One with Colin Brazier'

That was the original name for the programme. Incredibly nobody has bothered to rectify this on the EPG yet despite the fact it was never once used on air.

Even on Friday it is marked the same, when it is normally presented by Chris Roberts, so both the programme name and presenter are wrong.

Was anyone watching Live at Five last night when Jeremy was talking to Jeff Randall and at the bottom of the screen it read...News alert:Jeff Randall live at 7:30. I would hardly call this a news alert considering its scheduled to be on 4 days a week

Are the Sky News videos playing for anyone else on the Sky News app on the I phone? Mine just keeps coming back with the message 'This movie could not be played'
