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.

Surely Jeff Randall Live isn't shown in Australia?

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?

Yeah, that mix is not played on air. I threw it together using what I had grabbed from Aus and UK, plus the bed from the Arabia preview on YouTube. All music on Aus is from the UK these days. They don't make remixes anymore. The bed used for the weather segment on the real breakfiller is also used for newspaper headlines on Australia's First Edition and News Day bulletins. I'm not a big fan of it, but I'd still like to get a full version.

Yep, every weeknight.

Believe it or not, we're temporarily getting a full Sky News HD feed this week for the royal wedding. More info: http://www.foxtel.com.au/whats-on/foxtel-insider/sky-news-has-every-moment-of-the-royal-wedding-covered-124020.htm

Sky Embarrassing Gaffe #2584542- Probably not the best idea by the director to show a webpage containing the name, address and confirmation number belonging to someone at Sky on screen whilst covering the London 2012 ticket website crash, that came back online as Sky were covering the story!

Confirmation of the foreign correspondents reshuffle. As Alex Crawford had previously commented in a newspaper interview she is moving to the Johannesburg bureau, she will cover all of Africa and will also continue to be deployed to other major stories around the world.

Dominic Waghorn is the new Washington DC correspondent.

Stuart Ramsay moves from the Delhi to the Dubai bureau.

Alex Rossi takes up the position of India correspondent.

Robert Nisbet moves to Brussels to be the new Europe correspondent.

Jonathan Samuels is confirmed as the new Australia correspondent.

Emma Hurd moves to the Jerusalem bureau to jointly cover the Middle East with Stuart Ramsay.

Another reshuffle of Sky's foreign correspondents. Im not sure if they've got this one right. Robert Nisbett was suited to the Washington role and with Greg Milam they complimented each other. For me Milam and Dominic Waghorn are too similar to have in the one bureau. I can't imagine Alex Rossi is too happy because if any major stories happen in his area sky are just going to bring Stuart Ramsay across to cover it. Im not sure what the point is in sending Alex Crawford down to Johannesburg as there seems to me more stories in the Dubai Bureau. A needless reshuffle I think.

As in, 'That's a nice suit you're wearing', 'Thanks I like your's too'?

Or do you mean complemented!!

Sorry got my letters mixed up! I ment in the fact that Robert Nisbett covered the less serious stories in LA very well while Greg Milam seemed to be the main correspondent when it came to foreign policy and serious matters. I couldnt see Dominic Waghorn reporting on human interest stories as both he and GM have a very serious demeanor

I agree with Live at Five, the two American correspondents did complement each other's style of presentation quite well. It will be good to see Emma Hurd getting a bigger role, although I share the concerns that Alex Crawford might not be utilised to the best of her abilities.
Personally I'm not a fan of Alex Rossi, and I can't envision him covering Pakistan/Afghanistan as well as Stuart Ramsay and Alex Crawford have done over the past couple of years.

Emma Hurd has done a stint in Jerusalem before now, and she was excellent

Slightly different set up for the Press Preview with Anna and the two guests sitting on stools in the Sunrise set. The couch and desk had been removed - looked a bit odd in truth. There hardly moving the Sunrise furniture to the Buckhingham Palace based studio?

Anna Botting mentioned that the set had been taken by Eamonn Holmes for use during the on-location Sunrise. She didn't say if he would be sitting in it or eating it.

Anna Botting really is brilliant! "The set has been shipped to Buckingham Palace, so if we fall off our stools we can blame Eamonn. Although this programme is coming from Buckingham Palace tomorrow night, so we can all blame ourselves!"
