How many years ago is that from?


They are the latest officials published today - BARB often don't have the updated titles, i.e still naming Chris Roberts as the host of Saturday Live.

Some lovely Skycopter shots from above Westminster at the start of the Budget programme.

As expected Dermot presenting from the Millbank studio, Adam Boulton is on the Green.

Back at Sky Centre Tim Marshall is acting as the news summary presenter, providing updates on the situation in Libya.

Press release on the Royal Wedding coverage,

http://www.skypressoffice.co.uk/SkyNews/Resources/showarticle.asp?id=3036

As was previously reported Eamonn Holmes leads the coverage, from a studio overlooking Buckingham Palace. Kay Burley will be at Westminster Abbey, Anna Botting will be on the Southbank.

Dermot Murnaghan will present Sunrise on the day of the wedding.

There will be a special programme at 9PM made up entirely of user generated content - sounds horrendous already.

Sky News SD (UK DSAT) is currently tickerless and clockless. It has their email address and 'More at skynews.com' at the bottom instead. Is this the international feed?

I wonder if this is related to the change from GMT to BST. Sky News had the correct graphics and time just after 01:00 GMT/02:00 BST but sometime between then and now they have lost the clock and ticker.


EDIT: and at 02:38 BST the ticker is back but BBC News have lost theirs now.

I take it you mean like this then : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j96SLMmNL-A
I don't think its an international feed but just the graphics that go up when things go wrong.

Pretty much. The graphics came and went several times last night. Some times there was a blank yellow ticker and sometimes there were no graphics at all.

seems that they are maintaining the "news and sport in 15 min every 15 min" wraps during the weekend

They didn't yesterday. Quite good that they're being flexible about having the option to do more of a structured hour format when there is a big day of breaking news.
