Interesting move to put Jeff Randall on for a full hour at 7pm - up against CNNI's Quest Means Business for the full hour rather than just the last half hour

Noticed today that there has been no business presenter, Please tell me this is not yet another cut to the service

It happens every now and then - more frequent in summer though with holidays and Anna Jones covering general news

Lucy Verasamy's last day on Sky News.


Great send off. Dissing the new programme saying that the first presenters on ITV's breakfast shows never last (Famous Five, & Michael Wilson, Fiona Armstrong).

He then said that Lucy was going to 'Dawn of the Dead, or whatever it's called'!!

Eamon may have been first but he was not the main presenter was he?

More sour grapes from Eamonn. He talks a lot of nonsense for a news presenter.

Lucy got out at the right time.

They have added a 'Pope' section to the website. Suspect there will be endless rolling coverage on Sky for the visit.

Live at five with Jeremy
Martin confirming on Twitter that the show was axed,

Quote:
martinstanford: @4thxjuly er no. Show axed. Me to do regular news 8-10pm


Really is baffling that Martin has been treated so badly by Sky in recent years, lets hop he can bring a bit of life to the news wheel bulletins.


Has he really been treated very badly? He played a significant part in Election night on sky and has been their main "technology" man in recent years. Sky even give him his own unplugged show for big events.

Notice he says regular news. I wouldn't class NSW as regular news maybe?

You mean, once every 4 or 5 years they give him a decent role? That's good of them.
