Sky News picked up an Emmy award for it's coverage of the Taliban in Pakistan. JT and Stuart Ramsey were in New York to claim the award.

That will explain why Stuart Ramsey isn't in Delhi when a Delhi correspondent is most needed then

Tim Marshall breaking quite a big story about a potential terror attack on the UK, France and Germany.

Having now reached 2 million downloads the Sky News iPhone/ iPod Touch app has been updated today. Still no sign however of the iPad app that they are working on.

Is Sky News obsessed with the Ryder Cup?

Friday evening they had breaking news that the Ryder Cup will resume at 17:00 and then at 17:00 breaking news Ryder Cup resumes are being suspended because of the rain. Saw from about 16:30 until 17:45 - was stuck at Paddingdon train station and it was on the TV screen.

Don't know what it was like yesterday as I didn't see it but this morning (saw from about 07:30 to 09:00ish) its breaking news that there will be an announcement at 11:00 and then breaking news that one of the referees has said it will go into a third day.

Am I just being 'unlucky' in when I am tuning in or has it been like this all weekend?... Granted as I have a quick look now it doesn't have it!

It's on Sky Sports, so that's why they've mad on it I presume.

And in Sky 3D.

Sky News at my local shopping centre was just showing the new Sky News logo for a while after the rebrand, with the word 'Showbiz' slapped underneath. They just showed adverts after, before repeated the process. They've now got some form of it back, looking in line with the rest of the branding now.
