Sky News presentation - New studio onwards

I've always felt that one of the main strengths of the Press Preview was it's relaxed feel, so I agree that it's a shame to see that it is now presented from a desk. That said, if Sky News are going to present 'News at 10' from the 'Glass Box' (which it suits much better), there really is no way to present it is old form unless there is a more suitable studio for relaxed programmes in Sky Central. If there was, it might also be more suited to where Sunrise is presented from as I don't really feel that it is really suited to the 'Glass Box' either.



The lowering of the desk would definitely help in the short term.

I don't watch a lot of Sky News, but I thought this was a well put together programme, and felt nice not to get interrupted with ads and sport from someone else, somewhere else. Nice simple intro sequence, and I thought the usual theme went with it okay. I was a bit worried about Anna being left alone - she did look a bit lonely at the start!

The clock on the screens to the left showing the accurate time was a nice touch. I thought the view behind the papers guests didn't look particularly good on screen but I suspect that may be temporary looking at the hoardings etc

I still can not believe they do not use a voiceover and an opening shot for TOTH, especially for this new, branded slot. I mean, you have a unique presenting position like that and you do NOTHING with it at TOTH. Hard to understand.

The TOTH was poor, but not because of the lack of voiceover.

Have to agree that the PP has lost it's relaxed feel tonight, although was saved by the chemistry between the three of them.

With the desk, it now feels as formal as The Papers.

Candidly, the bongs were a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't situation. In the end, it was decided it would be wiser not to.

It'll be a continually-developing thing, so expect to see any imperfections addressed in time.

The only criticisms I have are re angles and switches between the left side to front of main screen for Anna B must be a pain for her. The shot with either Alex Crawford was not the best, yet the shot with Anna and Ed Conway seemed okay. If they want to give it a different feel to the other shows then at the very least give a different presentational angle such as diagonal from the screen with Anna being on either the left or right and paper reviewers and guests on the other side? The graphics were modest yet I get the sense, like the cracking presenter, this bulletin is not showy but sunstancey. I will watch due to content. All reports were good and relevant. Whether I see someone's legs or not has no impact on how they review the papers in my view. Well done Anna B and co ✅

Personally the show would benefit from it's own music and presentation. Perhaps reports being signed off as "Sophy Ridge, Westminster, for Sky News at Ten"

I don't really watch much continuing news unless there is a major event, and generally watch Newsnight for my daily news, so I'm probably not the right audience for the show.

Here's the bulletin in full...

The sun reflecting on everyone is a real problem in the studio this morning

Indeed, sunny day in the 'Sky'
