Would Sky News use a different studio again (the last one I remember being different was in 2005), or is it best to keep everything in the current base for newscapturing reasons?
They used a different studio in 2015.

Ah. My mistake.
I suppose this will cause issues for the broadcasters in terms of having to quickly form plans, but I'm sure that all will produce wonderful presentation.
Wonder if we'll get the Sky News behind the scenes programme on Sky Arts again?
Highly unlikely.
Probably because you got rid of the two fantastic presenters (Martin Stanford and Mark Longhurst) who delivered the programme and did so exceptionally.

Yeah Skygeek, fancy personally making the decision to sack those two presenters!
What is the story with the big screen in the glass box? Is it incapable of doing any kind of animation or presenter control from an iPad? It looks like it's almost only showing static images and no actual proper controllable or animated graphics.
For example Ed Conway tonight saying "All of these seats will turn blue" and running his finger pointing to all of the ones that would, I've seen various graphics on that screen today and all of them appear to be static images.
It surely can't be that basic, compared with every other screen in every other studio in the last 10 years for Sky News?

It's a screen - it displays what you feed to it. If you want to feed it with static images from the playback mode of a digital camera, you can. If you want to feed it with a Viz output driven by an iPad and the weather vane on the top of the roof, you can. The screen itself won't care what you do.
If it's not showing animated graphics, that either means they don't have the content, or they don't want to animate the graphics (which kind of implies the former). Nothing to do with the screen itself.
I just have never seen it do anything like the older screens. It always seems to be showing just static slides rather than any interactive or animated and dynamic content.
It's not just today I noticed it but it's noticeable that the usual presentation of such election and voting data seems to be missing and replaced by static slideshow like graphics and the only difference is the screen. From every similar event.
You'd have thought they would just use the graphics set from the last election and referendum but instead it's more like someone put a PowerPoint together each with a static image on every slide rather than the excellent set up they already created.

What?! You mean they're not both still friends of mine, for whom I have tremendous respect?
You've heard they hold me personally responsible for their departures?
You think that the decision not to recommission a live, six-hour programme which had fewer than 10,000 viewers last time round will be based on that fact that the two chaps who presented it don't work there anymore, ergo they couldn't possibly commission it again? (I mean, I love Mark and Martin, and they deserve whatever praise they're given but they'd be first to admit that in bums-on-seats terms, they're not exactly Ant and Dec!)
