Skycopter out and about in Bristol. There is big Sky News HD flags outside the venue, pulling out all the stops!

'Moving head' lights behind JT too. They must be planning to light up the sky (no pun intended) when it gets dark tomorrow.

The set does look quite small but I suppose in theory it might make for more arguments and a more intimate debate setting.

All I can say is I hope it looks better in HD. With a set that small, they will need one hell of a focus puller!

I sent Martin Stanford a tweet earlier

@martinstanford Will the new Sky News logo be adorning the new Newswall. Or will it be introduced when Sky News HD goes live fulltime?


Here is his reply...

@mdtauk new hd dog on the hd feed i guess; my instant poll of the polls does have an HD tag too...!


So that's good news!


With the debate set adorned by a massive version if the new logo it's going to look a bit weird still using the old logo on the SD channel.

My thoughts too. The 1800 TOTH was a proper good OTT Sky News TOTH of the kind I've sorely been missing lately. (Don't suppose anyone captured it?)

Better ratings for Sky News yesterday compared to the weekend where they got a bit of a thrashing, yesterdays all day shares according to a poster on DS
Quote:
Yesterday All Day Share: 1.5% BBC News and 1.2% Sky News

No doubts thousands more watching Sky News abroad trying to work out how they get home. I would imagine many would have been watching with great interest in hotels bars, particularly in Spain and the Canaries.

What's the problem?


The harsh cut from Samantha to SJ on air.

Also, I thought we were looking at the 2 different backgrounds. The background after the package is different to the one into the package.

Going a bit bonkers with the jib camera outside the Bristol venue. The flags and lights are a nice touch though.

Jeff Randall just asked Mark Kleinman a question but for some reason Mark Kleinman couldn't hear him so someone in the same studio ('Central London') had to repeat Jeff Randall's question and say 'cue' before Mark Kleinman answered.
