Well i admit, I am tetchy today, everyone seems to be on my back lol Sorry If I was rude to you smgboi, so many forums get people posting old news and double posting on purpose. Its hard to realise it happens by accident sometimes.

Cat and smgboi get an apology and all I get is a "why am I your victim?" PM. Charming.

And for the record, the only thing I criticise you for is your tone and patronising ("I know better than you") ellipses.

I wouldn't dream of being "on your back" Martin. Not even if you shaved it.

I don't try to be like that, when I am typing I am saying what I am typing, so I can measure for commas.

The only reason I sometimes lead off with an ellipses, is because as I say it, my pitch doesnt drop at the end of the statement, and I feel it more comfortable slowly fading out with my words, then ending with a full stop.

I don't mean anything derogatory by it...

Anyway, back to Sky News...

Has there been any trailers about the relaunch yet? Can't say that I've seen any as of yet.

No. But we should get some pictures from Sky tomorrow, and maybe they'll launch the trailers aswell.

Who does Peter Horrocks think he is kidding? BBC News 24 distinctive? Where exactly? It does rolling news just like Sky News -- but is perennially late breaking stories, in typical BBC style ignores some stories (PC gone mad) and has a presenter line-up mostly of nobodies that change every day.

Well done Nick Pollard - the BBC doesn't believe their is anyway of ding anything better than how it doe sit. This fallacy was derided many years ago when Sky Sports came along and devastated BBC Sport. I hope Sky News can do the same to the BBC in news.

Well just to toss the coin (and nothing else ) BBC News 24 has done a great lot to make it distintive.

Your instantly aware your watching N24 (for better or worse) through the pres, namly the giant aston and TOG.

I really can't disagree with you more about BBC News. I personally speaking find it fast and reliable and above all impartial, something which I find hard to beleive on the Murdock Network.

Hell, theres always ITV...

ITV belongs in hell, it is absolute swill.

Sky has influenced BBC News 24 in some ways, for example, stand up presenting for no relavant reason. Same applies to ITV News, Channel 4 News also stand up a fair bit.

LOL.

I think a lot of channels have taken "inspiration" from Sky, that was the buzzword at the last check.
I'm interested in how the news channels now seem to be almost wary of the SN relaunch, if thats the right way of putting it.
I think as long as SN has this knock on effect and is so widly watched then people will also look to SN to see how they operate, which in some ways is rather a pity.

I think you'll find Channel 5 News might have something to say about that.

True, they do seem to watch, see what they like and use it in a less effective way. You only need look at ITV's artificial video wall and BBC News 24 significantly smaller screens (I think the TV in my room is bigger and has better picture quality, joking of course)...Oh dear, I think I'm sounding a bit bitter now...
