I donīt think so, seem to be some technical issues, or a new desk (hopefully)

No proper titles at TOTH, just a bumper and the title music playing over it...

An interview with Lisa Holland from what looks like a green screen gallery back drop at sky centre.

Seems everything is running from Westminister, even have sports presenter there.

Some (very) slight presentation changes as well with graphics. with (older) different animation and there isn't any location straps at all, just a live in the corner for interviews,, and when they used pictures from Channel 4 earlier, instead of being in the top right, it was a standard white strap above the ticker in small font. Also appear to be using the old split screen layout which was got rid of a few months ago.

Getting SD weather graphics on Sky News HD as well, and sounds are missing from the breaking news swishes.

No Business graphics from the Gherkin,, again just live tags and the old style split screen and not the business one.

I started yesterday when there were no JRL intros and the blank toth.

Would be interested to see what they'd do if they revamped the sets at the Sky News Centre - the sets for SN Arabia and Australia show much smaller newsrooms, so it'd be more difficult to follow their designs.

Yes as you say :Interesting if they would..." . They won't revamp anything , these are just technical issues IMO!

To add to what has already been said at 10am for about 13 minutes SD got HD graphics, I was watching on my ipad and it just suddenly changed

A couple of other changes this week they have no break at the toth at 3am, 4am or 5am and show a nice globe animation of the weather around the world

The break during the paper review has been pushed back to around xx:50 which I don't like as they come back at xx:52 do maybe 1 story before handing over to the sports news and then the weather

This gobe animation is actually only for International viewers.

Is there nothing on twitter yet about whatīs happening? Was sunrise also presented from Minster?

Seems to be a hell of a long technical problem....I suspect that some interior refurbishment could be happening.
