So if some presenters aren't pretty under HD lenses, are they getting the chop??

I imagine Steve Dixon will be getting a work twitter account, 'SkySteve' ?

I think you can rename Twitter acounts - seems like he's deleted his account or Twitter is playing up again

Maybe he didn't want his personal Tweets to still be visible, hence a new account.

Suspect it is more a case of ensuring make-up and lighting techniques used on individuals are OK in HD.

The presenters have gone for a wander again today. Looks like Anna Botting might be putting in a daytime appearance shortly.

Colin's Sky News Today interview with Nick Griffin (Sky's second with the BNP leader in two days) was weak.

I hope Sky News' HD is better than the BBC's. Based on past performance it should be. Dermot Murnaghan is now in HD on Egg Heads, and you can hardly tell the difference!!

all new Phil
Is it just me who is concerned at the amount of airtime given to the BNP by Sky News at the moment? I've seen numerous live interviews with Nick Griffin in the past few weeks and months. I'm firmly in the 'everybody should be allowed their say' camp, but I think he's having a lot more say than other minority groups of late, and certainly a lot more on Sky than elsewhere.
