I suppose my only complaint would be that it does seem a bit dark, but perhaps there will be more lighting when the show starts tonight.

No, it looks great as it is.


Certainly is quite an investment by Sky in business news. With this, HD and the changes to the main set last year would I be right in thinking Sky News is running at a loss once again?

I have to say the back drop looks amazing. It looks a real worthwhile investment for sky

Sky News is always running at a loss. I think it's only ever made a profit once or twice in its history.

Not always a fan but Chris Roberts has been superb on Live at 5 this evening. Dare I say a nice change from JT,who I feel has been a bit below par recently.

Edit; Chris will be talking live to Jeff from the Gherkin shortly.

Great to see Chris back and indeed he did a very good job yesterday in what turned out to be a very busy Live at Five, relaying lots of breaking stories with ease.

New set at the Gherkin looks very good. Personally I prefer Quest Means Business on CNN but whilst Quest is off at the moment I will check out Jeff.

Going to be interesting to see if Sky comes away with anything at the RTS awards tomorrow. I think they will win the international news coverage award but I think news channel of the year will go to CNN International. I hope Sky send a fuller team this time instead of just Kay, Anna, Martin and Jeremy.

Sky let themselves down when they lead on stories like the Coles....especially when there's a natural Sky lead story already around (Northern Ireland). Cheryl's separation IS a big story, but not comparable to John Terry's recent woes- he was at least England captain. It also didn't help that Steve Hargrave did the report in a sarky way rather than handling it sensitively.

Another big name guest on Jeff Randall Live tonight with the Chancellor joining him in the Gherkin. Such a contrast to the rolling Cheryl Cole coverage of an hour ago! They certainly do variety.

Sky led with this Cole story at 6. A new low for Sky News and Jeremy Thompson.

To be fair to Jeremy Thompson im sure he would have preferred not to lead with this story but didn't really have a choice from the hierarchy of Sky News. He never really looked comfortable handling the story
