not rotating the big screen for tonights paper review to be portrait? looks a little bit odd!


They did for the later press previews

Something I have noticed this morning is they are putting guests Twitter names after their real names on the straps

Dermot is presenting Murnaghan this morning as usual but from the main studios not Westminster.

Last night the midnight news had a different backdrop with screens hanging from the ceiling, does anyone know if this was a different studio or backdrop or just a different camera position/height?

I saw on Twitter that there was a technical issue at Westminster - thus the change.

Good for all the guests to change location! I'm not sure how much time they had - the person I follow on twitter said it had been a 'hectic' morning.

There are currently hd straps broadcasted on the sd service.

Have they reduced the size of the graphics on standard definiton? They look even smaller than before - Especially the 'Live' bug.

Actually not. Earlier the day there was an issue concerning the sd-graphics but now everything seems to be as usual again.


Martin Stanford just discussing the hurricane with weather presenter Isobel Lang at the newswall. The first time for years I have seen the actual presenter of the programme explaining and discussing something by standing at the newswall. LORD, PLEASE MAKE THAT HAPPEN MORE OFTEN.

Have Sky made slight adjustments to the background images they use in the split screens?

I have noticed on the split screen with two equal sized boxes that a glass bar has appeared at the top and bottom of the boxes. I say this because before they changed to the darker version those bars were there before.

It also seems to Me they have added more or faster animation on the the backgrounds. I did think after they changed it that the backgrounds seemed less detailed and still.

Anyone got a screen shot of the launch of those new backgrounds to compare?

We both got our wish. He just did some stood up presentation from the news wall. Smile

The newswall is really small height-wise, looks massive in jib shots of it rather than the centre interactive shot.

Is there no special programme for the us election this week ? Something like Randall and Boulton unleashed?
