Watching Sky News Arabia now, the graphics are not better than the UK version. The only thing that is better is the set usage, which is something other members here have suggested Sky News UK do more of - which would be good.

I don't see any major problems with Sky News at the moment, and it certainly doesn't need a huge overhaul.

Sunrise is a good programme with Eamonn Holmes and Charlotte. I think the weekend edition is quite stale and I don't think Stephen Dixon is suited to morning television.

No, Sky News Arabia has better graphics, because they have specific strap and background images for every major story. Sky News Uk used to have this as well.

But how would they improve the channel's news reporting?
How would that make the news more informative for the audience?

How does alternating strap and background images make Sky News Arabia any better than Sky News UK?

Wrong part, it was just about whose graphics are better , as you first mentioned. Not about news reporting and information. These are separate things.

I do feel that with the BBC News channel moving to NBH in the next two weeks, it might be the catalyst to give Sky News a kick up the bum as it were.

As far as I can remember, they have got rid of the 930 review and instead have one at 1030 and 1130 with the same guests, presumably as few newspapers were ready at 930

STV Today wasn't wrong in saying it was a review - after all it is a review of the papers....

A couple of years old now - but still very interesting.
