Sorry - no Jeff Randall Live tonight. Instead tune into Sky News for extended live coverage of the fallout from the tuition fees vote.

Don't like the new weather graphics which have launched today

Kay seems to be spending more and more time in the sunrise part of the studio during Afternoon Live

Not seen them but surely they can't be any worse than the last ones.

I've just seen them briefly on Sky News at Six, they aren't terrible but I'm not a fan of the big time and day in the left hand corner. Although I'm watching in SD at the moment, so I can't say whether they're any better in high definition. But it certainly showed that it was cold.

Agree, I dislike the too large time & day, and in the wrong place when put online

I haven't watched on tv yet as I didn't know, but I had no problems with the ones they had, to me didn't even look tired. I don't don't know how long they had been in use for but I am sure its been tweaked once or twice

I noticed that they produce a complete European weather report for their website. I wonder why they don't air it on Sky News International, the feed that is distributed on European cable systems -- this would be far more relevant than either the endless UK forecasts or the "global" weather maps shown as breakfiller, which really only include a few major cities around the world.

This is how it looks on Sky News HD...

I've just watched it in HD, and it seems a little in-your-face, especially in the short NSW bulletins. You barely have time to digest it at one time, before it flicks over.

That's because the updates are around 40-50sec long even the old 1 minute sometimes 1.10min long ones were pretty quick

On the weather graphics there appears to be a horizontal line across the middle? Anyone else notice it?
