You've been sworn to secrecy. And that's fine.

So don't bother alluding to it and posting self-indulgent "I know something you can't know" crap.

Keep an eye out on Monday for a very exciting new show from the glass box!

Exciting and Glass Box? I think that´s a bit hard to believe isn´t it?
LondonViewer, TVViewer256 and Mouseboy33 gave kudos

That is so LOL and true. The box is boring. And the white graphics and repetitive theme..... makes the whole presentation dry and uninteresting to watch for extended periods. Sigh....

Even skygeek gives us more than this, so whats the point in posting it if you won't even let on as to what is happening.

I understand people's frustrations, but a balance has to be struck.

On the one hand, those of us who work in the industry like fostering people's enthusiasm. On the other, there are commercial sensitivities and contractual obligations that (quite rightly) mean we simply can't be specific about our employers' manoeuvres (no matter who we work for) until they're seen on-air.

It's not meant to be smug, and any evasiveness is out of necessity rather than spite. That's just the way it goes.

That said, I hope you'll like what you see.

ETA: Aside from one component, there's not going to be very much white!

This is the sort of response that most people would be hoping for rather then a couple of words...

I wonder how this would be possible as they have to switch between SkyNewsCentre and the Glass Box then. That´s not possible with one presenter.

They said exciting new show. Surely can't be them trying (again) to make an appointment to view bulletin at 10pm, when ITV vacates on Monday. It didn't work (& wasn't exciting) in the 90s so surely not going to be something so retro.

You're forgetting one key factor: Reach then vs. now, plus one other ace we've got up our sleeve that I can't discuss right now but will become apparent by about 2220 on Monday.
