Can someone explain this bizarre thing people keep doing?
Not sure, but I do know the next thing the do is wonder why there's a sound guy holding some scaff bar looking unusually unimpressed heading in their direction.

I believe it was a fad that started with wrestling/wrestlers (WWE) and has now become popular mainstream.

The big screen at the Sky News Centre really shows up poorly when displaying a lot of white. But then that just shows how good the new screen is at Sky Central.
I am guessing it's an LED screen in the glass box? Also will be interesting to see if they have made any more tweaks to that studio by Monday.

Actually, the 'fad' started back in 1983 with Eddie Murphy on his Delirious tour. 80's rappers then started doing it, and it remained there in semi-obscurity, until CM Punk's Pipebomb promo, I think, and it took off from there.

6am UK will be 1am New York.
In fact 9am UK will be 4am New York - so no matter when they cross to New York during Sunrise, it will still be dark outside - although looking at that shot, and the view from the windows, there are so many white light LED's on the advertising hordings opposite, it will probably look like daytime.
He can’t help adding one more dig at Auntie, where he began his career as a graduate trainee in the late 1980s, saying he felt the Today programme was a “little slow on the uptake” on the airport attack in Brussels this year.
“We were lucky, we had our correspondent Alex Rossi at the airport at the time which gave us a distinct advantage,” he concedes, before adding: “The BBC has fantastic journalists but they have to cut their costs accordingly.”
Prat. Did Uncle Rupert give you that line, John?
Sky News were first at Brussels Airport, because Alex Rossi was there catching a flight. It's as though John is having a go at the BBC for not having all their correspondents based at international airports around the globe, just incase some extremist loonybins, decide to launch another attack.
Trying to score a competive point over the BBC, over the speed they got the sound of emergency service sirens on air, as with the aftermath of a terrorist attack, is very shabby indeed.
Great location for the election studio. Times Square looks best at night anyway, so there shouldn't be any issues with Sunrise. It won't look that much different from how it will on election night - just fewer people and cars.
