Jeff Randall Live has new graphics based on the colours of the JRL logo instead of the standard red ones for strap titles.

Slight graphics tweak for Jeff Randall Live, the show now has its own headline strap on the lower third graphics instead of the usual red.

Edit: Beaten to it!

A similar tweak on Boulton & Co and Murnaghan would be good! It looks amateur at the moment.

The Sky News iPhone app has been updated to version 2.0. It's now a lot closer to the iPad app, with more pictures and detail - it's really good.

Sadly it's not available for viewers like me, beyond the UK.

Sound effects have been gone since midnight again apart from one TOTH where there was a very quiet swoosh.

I'm sorry, did you just seriously suggest that Sky News Australia is in some way a superior service to Sky UK based on its use of sound effects ?

Go and have a look in the Sky News section at Media Spy and you'll see that it is universally hated amongst media-savvy Australians for having a dreadfully outdated set, a muddled mix of Sky UK graphics and their own horrific designs, lazy and inaccurate camera work, a skeleton crew of reporters producing very little original content, an incredibly repetitive news schedule punctuated by tedious and uninformative opinion programmes, extremely intrusive advertising in the news ticker and in the middle of the screen during headlines, and many other serious problems that have all been completely ignored for years by an inept chief executive whose only priority is delivering advertising revenue cheques to co-owners Seven, Nine and BSkyB.

But they have a swoosh at the top of the hour.
