Sky News: Presentation Discussion

As I understand the voiceover is different parts played out live, eg 'This is Sky News' *gap* 'with' *shorter gap* 'Lisa Knights'. Although the World News one this morning is different, as if it is rushed or on whole recording, 'This is Sky World News, with Lisa Knights', but the longer "World News Review and Business Report" one is the same as normal, in segments.

Why did they drop the 'Live from the Sky News Centre' part? It would be more useful now than before? They have Osterly, The City and Westminster along with other offices acroas the world?

Plus Bueraux in Birmingham, Glasgow and Cardiff...

I thought they were just Sky offices rather than Sky News bueraux ?!

*facepalm*

A bureau is an office - or a desk - but no, there is/was a dressed DTL set in their Brum Bureau, like a mini Sky News set..

I don't understand why they aren't showing the FTSE near the logo anymore. Above the ticker they are only showing the UK Bank Shares.

Since when has the blue background used for reporters out of studio included revolving stars when talking about the EU? I've just seen them used while Joey Jones was talking about the potential EU referendum from the Westminster studio.

They are now showing that with 2 other bank shares

Why are they putting a - sign in front of the numbers?, We know its - because the background is red and the arrow is pointing down and why have the [ ] around it too? if they got rid of that less things would have to be made tiny to fit in

Also I think it would look nice the same size as the ticker whilst still being readable and again that would cut down on the amount of text which is tiny such as the lloyds banking grp etc

It has been used quite a few times now.

Will there be a chance to unify graphics and music themes of Sky News UK, AU/NZ and Arabia? (And what if Sky TG24 in Italy join them?)

It seems that the right front part of the desk is not glowing anymore .

A mild guess - they'll be showing bank shares because of the ongoing Libor scandal involving Barclays and other UK banks.

I noticed a minor tweak to the weather part of the ticker this morning, Instead of it all being 1 block they have broken each location up slightly which makes it much easier to read at a quick glance, Is this new today?
