I, along with every other person who has watched any amount of Sky News today, have neither noticed, nor do I care.


But this is since three weeks now, not only today!It's only the one with coffee! Lord above!


Yet here in the UAE, the ident we saw on most of the day yesterday wasn't the coffee one at all, but the white pillow one!

Mystery.

Yes I have to correct my post . The pillow and the coffee one are the only two and for about 5 hours only one and the same is played. But why make a nice diversity of stings when "boring" is another possibility.

To say something positive: It´s really nice that the presenter Martin Stanford can now discuss the sport with the sports presenter. This comes across as much more human. But nevertheless I´m bothered by the fact that Martin always says:" You are watching skynews hd", although there are so many viewers watching in sd.

Epic fail of great proportions there, Anna said, just before the 10:30pm break 'Coming up shortly the press preview with our guest Kelvin Mackenzie' - they cut to him sitting on the sofa, reading a paper and he looked up in amazement and pulled a really stupid face. Please say someone recorded it!

Sky don't care about you. As far as they're concerned, people watching in SD are only doing so because they've not remembered to upgrade to HD yet, and need every possible reminder.

Sound more like Stanford is adlibbing that - technically misleading as people in SD are not watching Sky News HD.

He seems to be the only presenter to do it these days. And since he's the tech presenter, I guess he would be the one to plug Sky News HD.

Can we figure on a graphics and logo refresh to coincide with the launch of Sky News Arabia?

I believe Sky News Arabia will look very similar to the current Sky News brand, so no.

From what I have seen in the rehearsels they have a different logo, different backgrounds and different theme music.
