Shouldn't that be Laura Bundock??

Is that supposed to be just Sky?


Yes, they're all Sky names.


Even Sally Bundock? I've only ever heard of Sally Bundock of BBC World Business Report fame.


That's probably supposed to be Laura Bundock

Edit: Rob beat me to it... Smile

Interesting to see people like Charlotte, Samantha and Gillian reporting

From that list Im guessing Andrew Wilson is presenting Live at Five Thursday - he is notably absent from the reporting list. Also no Sarah Hughes out reporting, so I'm guessing they are holding her back for presenting on Thursday too

Looks nice so far. I'm optimistic about these new graphics. I just hope that the SD channel is not neglected in favour of pumping everything into HD.

I think it looks a little bit like the X Factor Shouty name thing with the blue bit

I think on the website they should stick to the normal Sky news logo, and they may do after the launch of HD. Fair enough put underneath 501 and in HD on 517 but the channel is Sky News, Sky News HD should be seen as just an HD feed/service not as another set of operations/business.

Are the two Bundock ladies mentioned above related to each other?

Totally agree. This whole ChannelX HD annoys me. If it's a new channel with different output, then call it HD, but if it's the same channel, it doesn't need a HD label (and in fact it should really replace the SD channel, on the same EPG number). It looks like we've adopted the American standard here. You didn't see Sky News calling itself Sky News Digital when Digital started.....

Does anyone know how the new logo/graphics, etc will affect Sky News Australia?
