not really sold on 'Sky News Tonight', from the editions I've seen. just feels like a regular two hours of Sky News which is fine, but don't pretend it's some radical departure from the rest of the day. doesn't help that Adam Boulton is, and always has been, a very poor presenter.


Have to agree. It sort of feels like it's on at the wrong time in the day. Whilst the first few days of the presentation initially looked quite promising, I think it will tire very quickly. It's looking a bit cheap and a bit too confined to a small space. I do like the format, but it's just not working at the time of day/ space it comes from.

Does anyone know why the qatar weather stings have gone?

Hopefully somewhere the Prudential sport one will go soon... the awkward pauses on air are getting tired, I get it's probably so the International feed can cut in with a filler??? But you'd think they'd have got it a bit more slick by now.

No, the international feed gets now also these stupid vitality adverts, but it used to be filled with a skynews sting.

I do like the graphics on screen and the way the programme's titles are set out, as per this example:

Why don“t they use the election music and instead this crap old skynews sting which is also used for SNT.

That's two decision times in a row with poor presentation.

Ever since HD lost it's dedicated graphics feed the presentation of big events has been rather poor as they try to use one set to cater for both SD and HD which has involved basically axing the HD graphics and just making the SD ones stretch to 16:9.

I don't understand why they haven't used the Decision Time music either, but I can't see it ever making a comeback now even for next years election,m which is a shame since it fits such a programme far better, someone argued that it was because it is getting on, but the current Sting is the oldest piece of music on the channel by far.

Sky's coverage a bit scrappy so far. Direction/Vision mixing at SkyNews Centre particularly bad. Wish the jibs would stop continually moving & panning. Making me dizzy!

The channel on a whole is just going further and further down hill. It's events such as tonight that make you realise what a shadow of its former self the channel has become.

Well done STV, ending with this gem of a song...

Should we stay or should we go.
