I'm sorry you feel the information given is false, I also think it is fairly obvious how I got my information.

1. Sky World News has been droped because world news will be playing a major part of Sky's coverage as always so a seperate programme is not needed.

2. Mike Wilson will be doing a 16 hour shift for two days a week he will share it with Juliet Foster.

3. Re: the spelling of presenters names I think that people shouldn't be so sad to actually worry about such minor details.

4. Allan King isn't just a weekend presenter if you watch any of our output you would know that.

Hope this helps, all I can say is watch tomorrow at six am - there will be no re-launch! But you can believe what you want. We won't be coming back to the forum.

I'm very sorry if the accusations I made are wrong, but you have to accept that for someone to come and register on the forum and just wave a bunch of facts under our noses, after months of not having a clue what's happening, is quite a shock.

You obviously work for Sky, as the use of the word 'our' appears in your last post - you I was 'sad' enough to notice that.

I've never noticed King playing a major role in Sky's output, of late.
He is a regular World News presenter and from what I have seen now appears to be penned into the weekend afternoon slot, with Foster.
I was dubious about the idea of World News being dropped because a Sky News director did tell us that World News would remain.
Obviously things are subject to change.

Please, if you do have anymore information then feel free to post it here, it will be appreciated. But after months of hearing absolutely nothing about this relaunch, someone wandering in and giving us almost every detail about it obviously comes as a little bit of a shock!

Thank you Asa, all I can say is that we should just sit back and look foraward to the end of september, once again Sky will be leading the way in television news.

I'm now leaving the forum but I thank you for your time.

Don't forget 24th September!

PS.

In answer to your questions mdta:


1. the delay is because of staffing issues within sky news.
2. re colour ; think wood, think green
3.re the logo; all I can say is look at the sky corporate look EPG999 should give you some clues.
4. No pics of new stuff as yet.
5. Just watch tommorrow if you've any doubts about what I've said.

Staffing issues?
You mean all of those people they sacked, and paid them off with pathetic sums of money?

And I still have yet to see any of the promised 24 new hacks arrive at Sky.
The Sky logo will probably feature one of the images from the generic look - '>>' - things like that.
Graphics made out of wood sound interesting.

Why are you leaving though, or do you mean you're just leaving for tonight?

Graphics not made of wood, set made of wood.

graphics aren't clear as yet.

Sounds very much like CNN US.
Mr Relaunch - could you describe (or draw if poss.) the set in a bit more detail?

So could you tell me if it is close to any of these, the top two are my designs, sky were considering, the bottom is just plain like sky travel.
