Meanwhile, Fox news will still be reporting who Trump has next in line for his cabinet.

They're showing a special programme at 9pm about Donald Trump?

First time I've seen them have one replace a TOTH programme at such time like that. normally it's on the half an hour or earlier.

It's happened before.

A giant Christmas tree has appeared next to the box now to join the 15 or so smaller ones

What a mess! You would've thought that they would have chosen a tighter angle or a wide shot within the studio while they set that tree up. Showing a cherry picker and a load of planks just looks unprofessional in my view. Will be intriguing what will replace all of those trees after Christmas as it's going to look very empty once they've all been removed.

It looks tacky with the small trees, they should take them away.

They should just put this box in the lobby, matches the style.

The cherry picker had broken down apparently! It was all fixed speedily.

I have to say I really dislike the set (or lack there of).

The background is often distracting, as people walk past and the presenters and guests look uncomfortable.

To me it looks like they're just in a permanent OB from a shopping centre or something and the glass and big kind of makes it seem very cold.

Frankly, it reminds me of a cardiac hospital I have had to frequent in Dublin. That kind of blandly clinical looking glass atrium with people going up and down in lifts and waking around.

The sounds seems very hollow too for some reason.

The sets isn't growing on my either, just looking boring and unfinished.

When they switch to the other studios it just shows how dull the new one is. Whether it's Westminster, the main studio or Sky Sports News update they are full of deep blues and red. You then switch back to the glass box and it's all the same beige again.

Saw sunrise for the first day last week and couldn't believe how many times the desk moved position during the programme, must be a right faf doing that all the time and running out of shot for the weather update

It has grown on me a bit, but about 20%.

The fact is I don't watch Sky News anymore for sunrise, I watch GMB instead.

I also used to watch live at five or around that time, now I watch BBC or Al Jazeera.

Only time I watch it now is for the paper review at night. When they move completely to the box, I will not be watching the review either.

Sky News has lost it's soul!!!!!

After more than 7 years I have decided to refrain from watching Skynews. A hard decision, but sadly overdue. The Glassbox is the main reason, though not the only one. It is tough to see how this great channel has changed in the last months. I would like to keep it in good memory with the great US election coverage. Now it's time for the BBC and euronews.

Bar the Mon-Thurs Sunrise presenters, the current Sky News is fine. The only complaint with the glass box is the acoustics.
