Sky News

This weekend there is quite a lot of news which will be rolling, such as 65th aniversary of the D-Day landings. News, Sport and Weather is not a suitable format for that, so they have gone for the sky news today format.

Dermot on a Sunday - must be something big brewing.

Derrrrrr.

Sport coming from the Live Desk area as they prepare for the Election Coverage in the main set.

Someone needs to silence their phone...

It was Charles Kennedy's, he jumped and was seen playing with his phone on the wide shot.

Set is looking good, amazed how well they can fit all these panelists around the desk.

Lovely wide shot

Has Martin Stanford got his touch screen out? I haven't seen it. Jeremy Vine on the BBC is using a virtual set, with a touch screen embedded in it, to quite effectively zoom in on very precise towns, regions etc. for analysis.

The BBC also has Emily Maitlis using a Touch screen similar to Martins. AFAIK Martin has used his screen earlier in the night.

The Live Desk is at the Island this morning... is this new?

Hmmmm. There was a picture a few weeks back from the webcam, where they were trying backgrounds for the Live Desk on the newswall, which would suggest a move to the island.

Would be a shame if the Live Desk presentation area was lost

1pm Live Desk is still from normal position.
