If anyone's interested here's what (IMO) inspired the Sky News temporary look:

That's the Sky News 'Answer The Question' theme tune. It was one of their political programmes until all feature programming was stupidly axed. Had a lovely desk too.
I've always been more keen on music rather than the actual look of the idents themselves.
Calendar sounds fantastic at the moment, as does North East Tonight. I'm not entirely convinced about Granada Reports, sounds a bit thin.
BBT, what's wrong with London Tonight?! I think their current batch of music is great, although admittedly not as good as the 1993 variant.
I find that American networks generally have better music than the ones over here.
CNN, NBC and Fox all had fantastic music for the US election, last year. If anyone is interested in hearing it then be assured I have plenty of it!
In comparison, the music over here sounds a bit wishy washy and not substantial. There's an argument for sounding modern and up-to-date but sometimes some of the more classical and generally noisier themes work a lot better, certainly in the USA, where the presentation is a lot more... 'shiny'.
Finally, ones that sound great but look awful. The Sky Sports Centre music is excellent, with little commentaries in it, I have too if anyone wants it
And CNN World Report (old version), that sounded excellent but looked like something from the 80's. The new theme is a bit jingly-jangly with lots of bells and other... things.
