I'm certain this hasn't been mentioned, but surprised because it happened yesterday.

The music hasn't changed - except for the weather stings, which now get individual, very atmospheric music - but the look of the idents has.

They follow a similar concept, but the green/yellow/red/blue circles zoom in crazily, expanding the centre red circle, which develops a hole in it and surrounds the blue spinning globe.

The spinning globe/balls/libra/mics are also spinning much more quickly. I'm not sure what they've used to redo them, but they have that sort of vizrt look about them... oddly textured, especially the sports one.

Quite a nice change, I think, but I thought the old ones were a bit more professional looking. A rarity on Sky these days, it would seem.

Probably because they will be viewed in Full Screen, they felt they should redo them slightly

I wish Sky News Active would become available on Freeview. From the amount of promotions mr martin stanford gives it - its the best thing since sliced bread!

I wish it would be *free* online, but of course they have to commercialise it.
