What sort of technology will Sky be using from their live New York reports. Andrew Wilson's feed is obviously in HD, would they be utilising Fox facilities?

There are other feeds though which look like lower bandwith feeds, almost 3G-like. What methods are they using from the US nowadays and further afield?

Sky News' graphics style concerning the election is this time totally different from their usual one. There is the White House as a background and strip lights are used for the election logo. I expected them to use typical skynews backrounds, where a blue horizon is combined with the american flag. What do you think of the neon lamp style? It actually represents the U.S ...

Someone should tell Sky News, Freddie Starr lives in Studley and not Dudley as their graphics suggested earlier. Dudley also isn't in Warwickshire, Studley is.

I can easily imagine how this mistake occurred though.

Sky's plans for the coming days in the presidential election. Most notable Kay coming live from Las Vegas! Should be fun.

I am missing Hannah Thomas-Peter on that list. Why make they use of the Moscow correspondant when they could use her?

Presumably because they need a correspondent in New York covering the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
