Global TV weekly reach of 250m? Pah! Doubt it's even a tenth of that.

As Charles mentioned on the previous page, that'll be number of people who's TV sets can get the channel, not how many people are watching.

It's the same as when they say the Superbowl has x hundred million viewers.... it doesn't it's just how many people could watch it

Yes, I know. It's a completely irrelevant number if they aren't watching. Weekly reach - 10m tops would be generous.

So, we're now rapidly approaching mid-July and I have yet to see any updates on the new Sky News newsroom and overnight studio. Any updates from insiders? I understand the Brexit/Election shambles pushed things back a little, but I'm surprised we haven't heard any news recently.


November was the last date mentioned here, so I'd suggest being a little patient. I'm sure things will get mentioned when the new studio is imminent.

New studio - November. That's when they'll be demolishing the current one

There is an established prospective date before the end of the year. That's all I'm in a position to say right now.
globaltraffic24, fusionlad and London Lite gave kudos

From the latest Ofcom news consumption report published last month (figures for 2016).

Q. Thinking specifically about television, which of the following do you use for news nowadays?

Sky News 21%.


Back of fag packet calculations would give around 10m just in the UK.

Just wondering if anyone knows where this photo may have been taken:



I'm probably just seeing what I want to but it looks like a desk front to me?

Skygeek - understand if you're not allowed to say, but is the upcoming refresh of Sky Sports indicative of a wider Sky refresh at some point soon? Some elements of Sky News are already beginning to look dated and I'd imagine they'll look even more so when the sports bulletins are (presumably?) sporting an updated look.

I'm just going to be straight with you and say I honestly don't know! Smile

Yes, it looks like it's from the old desk as seen in last week's SWIPE.. https://youtu.be/0nb4veIjl_Y?t=3m47s

No. BARB 2017 Q1 data would give you 5m weekly reach. Coupled with Sky saying the U.K. is roughly 50% of their worldwide weekly reach and you'd get 10m. On a fag packet.

Going back to the lighting. Just seen the press preview for the first time since monday or whenever it was that they trialled the blue look. Shame they didn't stick with it. Looks boring and too bright without it, unique and warming with it.
