I'm not sure if it means the show will air from there tonight or are they just having an opening ceremony. Confused Idea


Oh yeah reading it again perhaps it means it's the opening. I will watch Jeff Randall Live to find out!

EDIT: Looks like you were right,still broadcasting from Sky Centre tonight.

Not on air for a couple of weeks according to Simon Bucks,Sky's associate editor on the blog
Quote:
We will start using it in a couple of weeks. I was there last night and it looks great. Also we hope it wil get us more interviews with top CEOs who are too busy to leave the City.

I suspect the figures for the Haiti tragedy are quite similar, I think Sky really dropped the ball on that one.

Notable though that Afternoon Live didn't make the top 10, even on Snow Day. Even when it's snowing viewers can't stomach Kay!

I agree their Haiti coverage was not up to their usual standard and I was shocked they did not send a presenter out there for a natural disaster of that scale.

Dear oh Dear, Kelvin MacKenzie having a dig at Sky News and Kay Burley in the press preview! He was talking to Yasmin Alibhai-Brown and Anna Botting about something and he raised the argey bargey Burley had with the photographer at the Naomi Campbell court case. He's very loud tonight, someone's got his back up!!!!

You'll always know that when Kelvin's on - there'll be some entertainment value! Wink

Good on ya Kelvin, Burleys a thug and the Andre interview proved how shallow she really is. Laughing

Just before I get shot down on saying shes one of Skys superior journo's with 'great gravitas' and the like, here is a reminder of the infamous case. Not a great role model is she, to be one of the flagship anchors with her attitude is a disgrace. Wouldn't catch Anna Botting doing this would you?

Anna Botting's been at Sky News for 15 years? She went a little bit red there when Kelvin raised that.

Poor old Anna Botting is subjected to this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbpne6AsdL0

Would have been interesting to see if it were Kay Burley conducting the interview - what she would have said in response to his comments.
