Nothing at Six about the fact that Sky News is 20. Shame, but brilliant new set and use of it. As people have said here, the old set was good when it was used to its full potential, with double/triple headed programming etc, but as that's a thing of the past and the set didn't quite work anymore. It was great having a huge desk, elbow, pulpit etc with three presenters, but try and work them into a single headed show and it goes a bit wrong. This one is perfectly suited to single anchoring, plus guests. Also, on the Sky Publicity site, they have finally made the live webcam of the newsroom actually go live, so it refreshes every two mins now.

Well that would explain that then! Sorry, I thought they relaunched today because it was the big 2 0 today. I'll hold fire for twenty four hours perhaps then.

Why isn't skynews.com in the soft set instead of the green screen.
