Sky News: Presentation Discussion

don't understand why they directly remove the isle instead if using it further for sportsline

Could they be using it for their studio at Buckingham Palace for the Royal Wedding, so it is different from the BBC's desk (as I imagine they are going to have)

Debate on AV vote on Sky news at 5, I've not seen the screen split straight down the middle before, The debaters are usually in those little boxes

I just uploaded Sky News' refreshed international breakfiller for those interested.

Sky News... News? Surely they should have put "headlines" or something else instead. So Sky News Australia simulcast the UK version overnight?

Not really a fan of that. It seems kinda lazily put together compared to the rest of the Sky News package. And I agree, "Sky News News" makes no sense at all.

Agreed. I also don't like the idea of repeating the headline bed every 30 seconds. The previous breakfiller used much better music. The graphics on the other hand are quite impressive. Although, I'm trying to work out why they added extra glass panels behind the information. Seems cluttered.


Yes, your channel is shown for a few hours overnight on National. In fact, it's named News 24 in the EPG and is the centre of the naming controversy with ABC News 24.

Here's a mix using the headline bed and other bits and pieces.

Yet another superb report from Alex Crawford, this time from Misratah.

Is that your mix because that is better than the break filler but I quite liked the ending to the break filler, never heard of that before. So are these all UK updates or Aus versions that have been updated?

They are all tracks from the UK package.

And one of the tracks also features in the Sky News Arabia studio preview. So I presume they might be using the same package as their UK and Australian counterparts?
