You left Martin Stanford out of their election coverage. He seems to be always forgotten....anyone remember him being the first to break the death of Princess Diana???!!!


I remember it very well. You could see the look of horror in his face as he was obviously told the news in his earpiece and had to deliver it to the viewers.

It's strange to me how Martin's role got downgraded last few years. I know people here said it was maybe by his choice but we can not be sure about it. In the past he looked like the most senior anchor after Jeremy and probably someone to replace him in the future. But now he's only doing that 30 minute internet show and newswall stuff for the election. It's a shame since he's a very good anchor and interviewer.

I think it would be great if Sky News brought back Your Call...

Yes I remember a few years back himself and Jeremy were in Israel I think(stand to be corrected). It was a dangerous zone at the time but both of them provided fantastic coverage going into danger zones. He is excellent at what he does on the .com show but I personally would like to see him back reading the news.

Kay Burley talking to James O'Brien this afternoon, went a lot better than their last encounter when it got a bit heated when they talked about Frank Lampard.

Could this be a glimpse of the new graphics/ident on the screens above? Liking the background of it I must say!

Well one of them is the Sky/Fox Breakfiller graphic. However the the endcap does look like that could be the way the branding is going.

A lower quality version, although it does show the closing sequence as well.

I think the dual presentation works well, despite being a bit disjointed, especially having Jeff ask questions of Adam's guests and vice versa.
