Sky News

It standard practice in most stations not to, I'd imagine Sky are the same.

I thought they do? I remember seeing a behind the scenes report, not sure which network it was on showing the weather presenter with an autocue infront of them?

Also during Afternoon Live today, every weather report had 'Sunrise' on one of the screens next to the plasmas Obvious then it must not be live during Sky News Today and Afternoon Live. If it is they record only one bulletin between 6am and 5pm, or live throughout just sunrise, wonder why? Surely the weather presenter is in for more than 3 hours? I know they do weather for Sky News Active aswell, but that was standard practice when weather was live throughout the day?

The Daily Mail website has the headline 'Sky News presenter Kay Burley in live spat with 'staggeringly sexist' sports reporter' as the SECOND story, honestly, isn't there anything better to inform us of?

Anyhow, I presume its being blown out of proportion.

He didn't say anything wrong, Kay is such a drama queen.

From reading it, its not intrinsicly sexist, but it is bad to say that she shouldn't complain that the father of her child will miss the birth no matter what. It's a matter of importance, golf competition, or birth of your child. As a mother, her reaction is not inappropriate!

How is it sexist?

Some light-heartedness on the Live Desk just now about the cricket, it was nice to see although I can't imagine they were too impressed in the gallery with the, er, motion seen here in the first picture...

The guy on the right of the screen was a tosser. The motions he was doing kind of summed him up.

Why does the Sunrise big screen appear to flicker with dark blue backgrounds? The Business on the screen looks awful because of this at the moment. The graphics don't suit the smaller screen either.

I wonder how the setup will from Sky's Westminster studio? Like Lunchtime Live with Kay Burley, how will the headlines be presented? Sitting down next to her or from the cso studio at Sky News Centre?

I like the Millbank studio, much simpler, and has a busier looking newsroom, because its all behind the cameras and not dotted around.

Do we know if this is definitely happening next week?

I think its pretty much confirmed as Steve mentioned it on his Twitter, you could always try asking him and he might @reply you.

I think they'll just sit down at the desk, and maybe bring a plasma in. Nothing exciting.

I did Joshua. He didn't reply. I guess it's all a bit secretive at the moment. Steve hadn't been told himself when he mentioned it, he heard it from his makeup people
