Around 8 snowy Christmas trees have appeared under the London HQ box but they have no decorations on them

Ryley says "I do feel if I’m honest that over the last 18 months that the BBC News channel has lost a bit of its life and vitality" I feel the same can be said closer to home

Love the Times Square NY studio for the Election Coverage.
Would be great if they had a studio with a similar backdrop for Sunrise. New Baby Shard studio perhaps?

Speaking of which:

Quote:
In December Sky News will start broadcasting from a new business studio in The News Building at London Bridge, the building formerly known as the Baby Shard.

The new state of the art studio, based on the 14th floor, will be home to Sky News’ flagship business show, Ian King Live, which airs Monday to Thursday at 18.30.

The new studio, with a stunning backdrop over the City, will also serve as a hub for the Sky News business unit and will be used by key members of the team including City Editor, Mark Kleinman and Economics Editor, Ed Conway.

Monitors showing Sky News seem to have popped up in the offices behind Kay. Plus there's the colourful Sky Arts wall downstairs.

It may have all been there before, but not seen it in the time and angles I've watched so far.

Has anyone else noticed too, occasionally on a live from Westminster, or elsewhere, the sound sync is well out, but then something is adjusted and corrected a bit abruptly.

The "colourful" Sky Arts wall has been completely white for more than a week now. It seems any other colour than white is strictly forbidden in that studio.

Seems that the Colin and Jayne slot goes single headed when a presenter is on location such as right now with Adam in New York.

All Out Politics was presented by Faisal from Westminster today.

I know the presentation styles of BBC and Sky News may have become more similar than ever lately, but it's still no excuse to mistake one channel for another, what Ryley says applies to Sky News.

Sky do appear to be very much focused on the competition these days rather than their own channel, unlike before where they were more focused on being the best than worrying about competition.

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.

Sorry, but the hip hop mic drop had nothing to do with wrestlers, it had its roots in black culture the early hip hop and black stand up comedians during the 1980s and has since been "appropriated" by other entertainers, cultures and media forms. The most popular broadcast instances in the most recent years have been on MTV VMA, BET Awards in the US and Dave Chapelle doing stand up

Then it reached popular mainstream and soon has been "used' by the president and others. Which further propelled it into the mainstream.
Basically, it means there is nothing left to say...or try to top that.

No surprise there white colourless trees. Wow they even managed to make that boring and stale.

That shot makes it all look so dull. There is no colour or life to the channel, everything is just beige.

Being sat in a box by yourself doesn't really give the impression that you are at the heart of the story.

Know there is another studio coming but there has to be more to this than what we have now.
