Interesting from an editorial point of view that Sky News has chosen to continue with Ian King Live in the light of the breaking news about the American journalist. The BBC broke the story during the Six O'Clock News, and have been running with it on the News Channel since 6.30pm.
Sky had an update from Dominic Waghorn at the start of the business programme, but not much more since.
One would have thought they would have gone back to Jeremy Thompson.
Sky News have since gone to a live news conference, stayed with it over the usual :56-:59 break, with a voice-over from Sarah Hewson to explain what we're watching and mention that it's now 'Sky News Tonight' as the clock struck 19:00.
Does anyone else feel that the Westminster studio is becoming far more superior to Sky News centre? Westminster is a much smaller space, yet the space is utilised much move effectively. Sky centre just feels so dated now. If the fins were removed and the newsroom was opened up a bit more, it might appear a bit better and less cluttered (Along with a new desk). Either that or using the big screen as a backdrop for sky news today and go back to a design similar to that prior to the 2005 move.
I see where your coming from but with Westminister it's size is my biggest gripe.
I hate how close guests are sat to the gallery, it feels too close and the monitors behind them usually distract me and silly I know, but it feels a bit cheap when you see false office ceiling...

Absolutely agree - always think the Westminster studio looks rather good whenever I see caps of it. The main Sky News Centre was brilliant in 2005 but every time they make a change it just gets a little bit worse. I guess the disadvantage of an open-plan newsroom based studio is you are somewhat limited in how you can change things - and even when they do things like bring in that new giant laptop if it's just dropped into an existing studio it'll always look out of place.
Doesn't Adam know in which camera to look and when to speak? The presentation of SNT seems really messy so far, lots of false camera angles or pan failures, or as I said they often look into the wrong camera and realise it only seconds later.
