Sky News

Probably because Martin does his preview Skynews.com section of the show from the newswall/island position- and also maybe to prepare for Afternoon Live

Just been getting my 'Morning Joe' fix, and look who's popped up...JAMES RUBIN!

Haven't seen him on tv in ages. The whole interview just reminded me how good he was in that setting, and how bad he was reading from the autocue. A real shame - I quite like him.

Anna Jones presenting Afternoon Live today!

Reading from the autoque he had the most annoying voice I have possibly ever heard

Absolutely heaving down at Millbank this p.m. Never before have I seen so many people pacing up and down behind Adam Boulton.

Another "where does ... see it first?" advert. This time Noel Gallagher.

"I watch Sky News a lot...gets on Sarah's nerves...I'm like 'I need to know what's happening before everyone else.' You could put that on one of those adverts...(laughs)"

They obliged.

That's quite whitty, although they are becoming increasingly contrived in my opinion!

Sky News has announced Sky News HD for next spring. They are upgrading their broadcast equipment both here and abroad.

Could we have a link to a source please?

So more changes to the Sky News studio by the sounds of things. A new newswall maybe?

It's pretty high resolution already - well above HD, I think.

EDIT: It's actually 2448×432 pixels, so I think they'll have to upgrade it

I think the screens are, but the physical graphics that are shown on them can look bad on SD, it looks shoddy and pixilated.
