Sky News

It is true that the new Premium Panels will be good looking but it just copying the HD Wing from Fox Business Channel.
The whole layout is a but less cluttered than the current look and I did like the use of think straps which will look good on HDTVs The new graphics may be fuzzy on SD but people should already have HDTV so they can watch the world cup.

Be interesting to see whether they reframe studio and OB shots for panels that are only there on the HD feed. Won't it look very unbalanced in SD if they do?

I think the Sky News may just crop the picture for SD feed. The unbalanced picture may be reason why Sky is not simiucasting the channel on 501 for HD viewers

Currently Sky News showing PM Gordon Brown visting a factory and Sky News trying their most to catch another "unguarded" comment. Why is Sky News so Pro Tory. Why can't all channels report unbiasedly

How are they doing that?

Brown has agreed to have this microphone on him. Why I don't know.

I haven't got a clue what you're watching. Alternatively you don't understand how news works. Give it a rest please.

On the subject of actual Sky News coverage, was Eamonn not in Birmingham for Sunrise? Thought he was supposed to be presenting it from every debate city.

Sky News Press Office website now using the new logos:

I think he usually presents from the debate city the following day, so expecting him there tomorrow morning (could be wrong though)....

Further HD details, including graphic preview avaialbe on the new Sky News Brochure

Thanks for providing the link. Sky news some times spin the news into a pro tory way but not always. Gordon should have not said all those things. How can be belive him anymore

Emily Maitlis is the only one presenting from Birmingham so far..

Sky presented all day from Bristol last Thursday and from Manchester 2 weeks ago. Also, the last 2 Wednesdays editions of live at five were live from debate cities. Very little coverage so far of the third and final debate.
