Surely a name change to 'Sky Football News' is long overdue..... do they do anything else? Even on the morning of the England World Cup Rugby win they were reporting on Football

Can't disagree with that, Larry.

I've tuned in a couple of times for cricket team news which I know has been announced a few minutes before, but they always seem to be talking about Swen Boring Eriksonn.

The only part of Sky confirmed for a new look in October is Sky One, hardly 'the rest of Sky', is it?


I thought all of Sky were getting a new look between September time and xmas when Sky News move to their new building

Yes, that's what is happening - everything is changing. Well, that's what I heard anyway.

England World Cup Rugby Union win by the way. It's pathetic how the show is called Football Update but also includes other sports, it's patronizing to all other sports.

As a huge sports fan - but not a big football fan - I think Sky Sports News would be far superior if it changed it's focus.

I have no problem with them having football programmes every few hours, or even football leading each hour, but other sport always seems to be restricted to the last 15mins of the hour.

So, the new look is here, and very nice it is too IMHO. I really like the new rounded graphics - shame there are no changes to the studio though.

apparently (according to mediabullet) a new studio is being unveiled in the next few weeks.

my money's on september/october, when they unveil their new logo.

Has anyone else noticed but now everytime I see the sky logo, its now the glass one, even on sky vans, even a sky advert on the internet. Could this possibly be the new look?

I like the new look, very swishy, also impressed with the new Sky Sports News ident at the top of the hour, but the only thing I don't like about it is, why have they got rid of the fantastic theme tune that they've used since Day 1!

Can anyone tell me if the main Sky Sports Channels have changed to match Sky Sports News, and could someone with Sky Sports post some screengrabs of the graphics, idents etc...

Erm... didn't SSN change the graphics to fit in with the new graphics on Sky Sports (from last season - the 3D Bevelled look)
