Hear hear.
I really do think you need to sort out your priorities in what you want from a news channel...
But if you still want swooshes and sirens and Armageddon graphics, then I suggest that you visit channel 509 on your Sky box. I hear they have plenty of sound effects across the pond.
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at Media Spy and you'll see that it is universally hated amongst media-savvy Australians for having a dreadfully outdated set, a muddled mix of Sky UK graphics and their own horrific designs, lazy and inaccurate camera work, a skeleton crew of reporters producing very little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.
