Ok, this is a tv studio not a broom cupboard right ?


Not a TV studio. Sky and the BBC are doing their debates as Outside Broadcasts from venues rather than from TV studios. Think Sky are at a Theatre. Not sure the BBC have announced their location yet.

Sky News venue: http://www.arnolfini.org.uk/

BBC not expected to officially announce theirs until next Wednesday.

I noticed Andrew Wilson was at Heathrow this morning while Eamon stayed in the studio. Has Easmon ever worked outside of the Sky building!

Is Adam getting any sleep? You get the impression he reads a heck of a lot when he's not on air because he seems to know everything.

Sky News HD is not launching tomorrow.

Sky News SD will relaunch their graphics when Sky News HD does launch.

Yes, Eamonn has presented on location for Sunrise a few times.

Tomorrow morning he will anchor live from Bristol ahead of the debate.

Eamonn was out of the studio only last week; presenting Sunrise from Manchester and will also be in Bristol tomorrow morning. Other than that he presented on location as part of Sky News' recession day along with Kay, Jeremy and Dermot.

So what the hell? Sky News is broadcasting the debate in HD, then turning off, then launching again in a few weeks? What's the point in that, Sky?

Adam could afford to take a few months off after the election with the money he's earning for all these hours!

Any idea if he's working on an hourly rate or have they just said you'll get X amount?

It's going to look rather odd tomorrow if they are using the old logo on the actual programme but have the new logo displayed on the set.

Yeah that's whats happening. The channel will then broadcast the election night coverage in HD and as of yet, we don't know whether that's the start of the channel permanently or whether it will go off again!?

What we do know is that everyday after the debate some of the election related shows will be in HD. That's Election Live Desk, Randall and Boulton Unleashed, and the Boulton Factor/Press Preview. I suspect the schedule for the HD channel will be updated tomorrow to show what will be shown. Probably with a looping preview, or pre-recorded HD programming in between Live programming.

11pm Tomorrow - Sky News HD Preview

Hope Im wrong but I get a feeling the plan to show the other election shows, Boulton Factor etc, in HD has been dropped. After tomorrow I expect the next HD production to be election night.
