On Eammon's website, says from 24th Oct he will present Sunrise, 6-9 am, Mon-thurs, so presumably Steve Dixon will do Friday,

This also confirms 24th is the relaunch....

Well, going back about 15 years here, Sky World News Tonight used to be on Sky Channel/One. I think this will probably be the first regular, Sky-News-produced bulletin on another Sky channel since then.

It does make the channel appear a little more well-rounded, and will avoid the immediate assumption that Sky entertainment channel = US TV imports (although mostly they still are).

I'd be surprised if Jeremy Thompson were to be presenting a watered-down news show. He's not really the ideal pick for that.

That seems a bit dim really. Surely it'd be better to have some sort of logical continuity, rather than Eammon goes on Friday, Dixon moves from mid-afternoon one day a week, then the weekend Sunrise presenter covers for him...

Would it not just be better to have Steve Gaisford doing Sunrise Fri, Sat, Sun, and leaving Dixon in a regular slot so viewers know who to expect when?

Just saw this on the Sky Programming Information site. The titles look different on the side, could they be a screen shot of things to come on the 24th??[
