The NEW studio and video wall will be used from 0600 on Thursday morning ...

New titles and music from the 30th ...

Can't reveal my sources, but this IS happening ...

Remember, Thursday 0600, you heard it here first.

I knew you BBC employees were good for something.

So, new studio on Thursday, along with the new wall. But what's the delay with the titles? Still trying to think of names for programmes? LOL

Don't know C@t ... I believe the relaunch (or part of it) has been moved foward because of circumstances in the US. I would imagine the new graphics aren't ready yet.

Allow me to quickly go and edit my post containing the words, 'I doubt they'd move the relaunch forward because of what's happening in the US'.

Ahh well. Nice to finally see it getting off the ground, if a little delayed!

lol, yes - I did read that with some amusement. Unfortunately, it's an irony almost that times like this and the Gulf war make or break channels.

CNN would be nothing if the Gulf War hadn't broken out. And Sky would certainly be of a much lower international profile if it hadn't covered Kosovo as well as it did.

I expect this will again be CNN's war. Fox and Sky have the ability to mix with each other, but at the end of the day I think it's fair to assume that CNN will try just about anything and everything to cover this better than their rivals.

Well it'll be nice to see the new studio before I go to France, although obviously I wish the circumstances were different.

How can the graphics not be ready, though???! Do they really take months to make, or were they planning to knock them up the night before they relaunched? Wink

The studio should look good, but it will be odd having new Sky logos in the newsroom, but not on screen...

Anyway, based on what that relaunch chappy was telling us, here's a rough guess at what the new graphics will look like.

They're nice - they could do a lot worse! Which font are you using for the text?

Hmm they are nice, I like that kinda look. It will fit the channel.
