Sky News Mini re-launch

I've listened several times and...
It's rubbish. I liked the old one. I thought SNT was pacy and I would not have minded that replacing the old one. The new one is ****, plain and simple.

Yes, but it's still copyright violation and not really different at all. It's just that one form is justified for irrational reasons, and the other isn't for reasons just as arbitrary.

Copyright can be used in various ways, and the website is an educational resource, and as such has some exceptions. Photocopying books and printed material is breaking copyright, but in education this can be overlooked...

Actually, in education, copyright law is different. You allowed to reproduce a certain number of pages from pretty much any document.

Could the same reasons be cited for any type of resource, rather than specific random types of resource, like you have implied?

For example, if a website full of captured idents exists for "educational" purposes, couldn't a website of library music exist for "education" purposes too?

The new themes sound very US news-y. Something i'd expect from CNN/us or MSNBC, the serious, established networks.

Maybe, Sky News, being the most established news network in the UK, are trying that approach.

I'm not so sure about the theme myself, I think that it sounds far more serious and newsish than what they offered previous, but it simply doesn't match the current on-screen look, and they definatly need to split the schedule up again;

Sunrise
SNT
Live @ 5
News @ 10

maybe even an early morning business report or something like that??

Lets hope they update all these things soon, and not leave the channel in the half-baked presentation appearance it has now.

Hmm.. not sure about the new theme. really don't like the abrupt way it stops at the end. Thing that struck me was whether it is supposed to sound like the theme to Sky Sports News - think there's a few similarities??? Maybe just the same composer.

So is the music used on sky news today not the new music?

Would someone kindly post the new SkyNews music?

ooooh, i really don't like that "cut to camera" after the sharp end to the intro, it's quite frankly, poor production.

It just seems.... not finished.

If you get what I mean.


BTW How many more times can Sky say f**k tonight?

g

I will post the News at 10 intro (audio only) in a few minutes....

I know, they're loving it, are News 24 saying it ?
