Would have been interesting to see what goes on if today was a royal death rehearsal day.

Pretty sure they would have planned this Raw coverage not to coincide with something like that!

If there was a real obit it may well be all hands to the pump and Raw would be dropped

I know they moved into different space. But i cant get over how there is absolutely zero colour, branding , signage, paint, nothing on the walls. Just white paint. And the lighting is so harsh. Even the box screwed to the wall that contains their Baftas is literately just a box screwed on a column. Not pride of place, not a sign or logo anywhere. The whole place feels drab, impersonal and to me soul crushing. Makes you wonder if the presentation is a result? Goodness.

I mean even the BBC Broadcasting house did somethings...

Seems to be some 4G connections at Millbank as the meeting where Kate McCann is speaking to the team had really bad pixelation.

You're not seeing them in shot, but there is floor to ceiling height imagery of past significant news events around the office - most are in between the windows. The wider campus as a whole (even the building they're in) has imagery, art, quotes etc all over the place. Many of the meeting rooms are themed up (the Ocean one has been seen a lot today, but there are Game of Thrones, Riviera, Fortitude etc themed ones).

Definitely not a drab place to work.

Shame Kay Burley is not in for her show today - you'd think given she's the face of the channel she'd be front and centre today.

I was enjoying the coverage so far until the sound cut out right in the middle of Beth Rigby telling us how she got interested in politics

Is the sound fault just on the live stream or the raw channel too? Should really have been fixed after 15 mins


Yes, I tried to watch Colin Brazier's interview, but nearly all of it had severe sound issues. Sad! Laughing

Interesting to see the behind the scenes of the Kay Burley Show, doing the Derbyshire format better without losing breaking news.

Why is Kay today? This is just weird

Its fine, we all see that its basically a sterile white box and some screens scattered around at different heights and angles. Its ok. Looks like a definite step down from the previous location. And just because its not a studio doesn't mean it doesnt have be a visually pleasant and a space to get inspired or feel pride in your work environment. Work environment fuels creativity as well. So the lack of a studio space is irrelevant. I can comment on what I see. Like everyone else. And since SKyNews doesnt make money adding some paint to the walls isnt going to break the bank. And its interesting how their bland surroundings matches their presentation.

You mean like this! Cool

Not talking about the campus or any other part of Sky. Im specifically referring to the SkyNews room on SkyNews Raw.


Here it is again:

When I say "office," I was referring to the newsroom.

Important to remember the old newsroom was a studio with a newsroom in it. The new one is not.

Oh, and please, keep editing and changing your post. Rolling Eyes

It's not Sky News' job to impress you by making the newsroom look sexy. It serves its purpose and would be a waste of money as it's almost never seen on-air.
