The studio has pine wood panels with some square plasma screens in some sections.

The floor is green for keying.

A big glass wall replaces the window into the newsroom.

The newroom has a big video wall in it.

Sky News logos hang in the newsroom.

Is the theme music going to stay?

When my friend saw the studio a couple of weeks ago, he described the desk as 'black and banana-shaped' - can you expand?!

Any word on whether the countdown menu (or just a countdown?!) is longer than 30 seconds?

Cheers, Asa

Wooden studio eh?
Let's just hope they don't have a fire.

Sky News logos in the newsroom? It does sound American!
Just like Fox News, actually. They've plastered FOX all over the place.
I just hope the logos are secure, not like the death traps ITN decided to hang up.

What happened at ITN? The 'green floor for keying' sounds interesting - what could they possibly be keying on the ground???

It'll be a big image of Bob Friend saying 'WE LOVE YOU BOB'.

Nothing has happened at ITN... yet!
If you've been there you'll see that when you walk in there are these huge (and I do mean huge)... things; hanging from the celing.
They look like they're secured with elastic, and are certain to fall and kill at least 20 people.
Still - at least ITN will have something interesting to report!
