I know the new globe, but I mean, does the strap fade from white on the right to the globe on the left, is the globe part a seperate box, and is the globe on a black backing, on the white strap backing, or does the globe take the whole height of the strap.

all new Phil
now there's something interesting actually... anyone heard anything about the weather on sky news? i know it's being updated, according to an interview with francis recently, anyone seen it? and do we presume that five weather will be changing also?

So with Sky News going 16:9, what will happen to the international feed? Will it be 14:9 like BBC World, or will Sky News be 4:3 safe?

What will Fox News show when there is a big event in London for example? 4:3? 14:9?

Martin, why when I said a lot of white, did you do a blue strap?

The main strap is rectangular and white, the left hand edge has the new globe fading out, the far right is simply solid white fading out.

Is this a mock forum now?

no, its an illustration for this thread. So InTheKnow, is that close, or a wrong interpretation.

I don't know if it's been mentioned that the 7:00 Sky News Ireland is moving to 6:30. It makes sense to replace Sportsline rather than half of The Sky Report.


If that's true...it may make sense from UK Sky bosses point of view, but given that it involves moving Sky News Ireland from having no Irish based competition to being up against both RTÉ News: Six One and TV3 News at 6:30, it does not make a lot of sense at all from an Irish point of view. It will be viewed here as commercial suicide / and/or Sky News Ireland giving up on its 7pm bulitten.

Surely there must be a better way?.

I have no idea, I was just speculating, given that since it is believed the titles will looks simular to your mock, it is quite blue and given DVEous has said that there is blue in the new GFX, it is logical to assume that is where it could be.

Yes, exactly that, giving up on the 7pm bulletin and opting for an early afternnoon slot. During Sky News Today pm maybe.

Harshy, the image above I made (with the studio backing) is a re-creation of the graphics based on stuff I have seen...


Thanks for the answer Martin, it will be interesting to see what they come up with.

This is what TV Forum is all about... Is it sad that it's the first thing I do when I get in from work to see if there's been some leaked pictures of the new newsroom/studio *creams*.

Very Happy

I hope i'm not bitterly disappointed in less than a weeks time though *builds it up*
