Eamonn has just promoted the new Sunrise website at skynews.com/sunrise , it's a page on Yahoo! as opposed to sky.com/news . Presumably this is part of the deal to show Sunrise on Yahoo! yet surely a page on the Sky website would be better?

The Australian networks all seem to have their websites hosted by the likes of MSN and Yahoo!


Slightly different here in Australia though. Rather than just one show tied to a portal, media companies instead have gone for merging the entire online identity of their magazine and television holdings with the online portals of MSN and Yahoo. Thus why NineMSN's news is Nine News, sport is branded under Nine's WWOSports, and Seven's Pacific Magazines are all sub-sites of Yahoo7 etc etc.

They are 50-50 joint ventures I think.

State of Emergency: On Saturday 7 September Sky News will broadcast 24-hours of live coverage from an accident and emergency ward.


Does anyone know if this is just report/updates every so often from a reporter, or is there goingto be a high profile presenter leading this?

Not the best of starts for the State of Emergency day, After the headlines they started playing a special intro with what sounded like old sky news music, it played for 2 seconds before changing to a still of another vt

Also since yesterday they are putting the local time clock next to some of the locations like they did for the U.S. election last year, So far I've seen it for Russia, America, France and Syria

Only for State of Emergency, it is the old intro for Jeff Randall Live and was also used for France '07 elections.

Tom Parmenter is going out with 1 of the ambulance crews shortly

I think the coverage started off quite slow but now its very interesting to watch and I'm sure as the night goes on it will be quite fascinating

Do we think Kay will be replaced at 2am until 6am with someone else?

This is the sort of thing she is best at, Kay is with an 82 year old man at the moment who's flirting with her
