The wall is looking a lot smaller than before judging by the black platform. Possibly covering half the amount compared to the last one?

Could be twice in height though, especially considering the new and much taller red fin. Wink

Probably not the best picture to tweet, on your first day there! Wink

Especially with other pics of that nature being removed.

Is it just me or do they have too much of a large studio, they never use it all and it just seems like such a waste of the space!
Also it looks really cluttered imo.

The picture taken in the gallery/control room and posted here yesterday would suggest that the so-called 'wall screen' is as high as the new red fin (ie very tall indeed!).

I think its only that big because Sky seem to like everything to be "bigger and better".

The size of the screen replacing the newswall, would depend on what camera shots are being planned. With the width of the last one, you could often see a lot of the top and bottom, but if zoomed in you don't get all the width in etc.

Also if they plan to do more close up shots of the presenter at the screen, then in order to look crisp in resolution, a less wide screen is needed.

Baring in mind the presenters probably won't be walking along it (Kay Burley, Afternoon Live style), it doesn't really need to be the length of a bus.

Will be interesting to see how the touch-screen capabilities work.

BTW, does anyone know when the old newswall was last seen on screen (before it was taken down).

Has this been confirmed, or is this just the TVF assumption deduced from Kay Burley's tweet?
