Sky News

Must have been a late decision to call Dermot in as otherwise him and Steve could have took up their usual slots.

Good coverage by Sky of Jackson's death. Samantha Simmonds did well I thought.

"Michael Jackson Dead" is interesting use of English.

That aside good to see the figures for Sky last night because if im not mistaken recently the BBC has beaten Sky in breaking news situations aswell as for regular news bulletins.

A heck of a lot of ads on Sky this evening,they came back at :45 past,talked to a FOX reporter and then took another ad break at :47 past.

Paula Middlehurst back on our screens

But she appears to be on the night shift

Your prayers have been answered.

Steve Dixon's twitter said Dermot was filming Eggheads yesterday, hence the 'slot swap'

I think sky need to scale back on their coverage of MJ. They are making stories out of nothing at this stage and the first 15 mins of every hour is enough to dedicate to him

Hmm. Maybe she wanted to be eased back in gently. Surely a one-off I would think.

Plus, Sky were still doing rolling coverage of MJs death so maybe they wanted someone more experienced?

I shall be removing the pictures of the studio I posted earlier in this thread soon, so if you want them please save them to your computers. Don't want to get into any trouble with Sky, they'll never let me back in!

Just seen on Fox News Greg Palkot doing a live report from the Sky News centre. I thought Fox News had their own studio/newsroom in London somewhere.

Does anyone else think Chloe Potter (doing nights) looks and sounds a bit like Nikki from BB a few years ago?...

Afternoon Live seems to be coming from the desk today - wonder why?
