Sky News Relaunch

Not Kay Burley?? Surely!

Gotta be either Kay or Viv!

You seem to be in the know about the relaunch, Lantern - please reveal all!

Yeah, gotta be Kay or Viv, but Viv doesn't seem like the kind of woman who'd kill you if you called her old.
If you're reading this, Ms Creegor - sorry!

Can't find that 360 view of the newsroom.
I'm sure one of the many Sky staff who read this board - own up, you're out there - could take some photos for us.

Yeah, Mr Lantern is a Sky employee - can smell 'em a mile off.

Anyway... what will become of Jeremy Thompson?
Surely he isn't to be moving to present Today with Anna Botting, and he'll be Bob Friend's replacement.
See what you've done? You've got us speculating now.
Tsk! We never get anywhere when we speculate.

The Sky Guide in the in brief section as we've already said mentions the relaunch and the fact that new presenters will be appearing - including Chris Rogers.

More prominent time slot? Could be Live at Five maybe with Kay?

Ooh yes - please do!

By the way, people in the know - when my friend saw the set a few weeks ago, he said the desk was black and banana-shaped - can anyone expand on this?

Haha, I'd make a very sleazy joke about that but I'm not sure certain people would approve!

MDTA- I didn't say it was all blue, someone else said that. The last time I saw it, it was a sort of light green washy colour.

Lantern

Please give us some clues as to the Idents, Graphix Set, Studio features, Music, Logos etc...

When he drew me a picture of it, it actually looked more like a - ahem - bendy sausage, but he said he wasn't sure.

Where have you gone, Lantern???

PS - is this the fastest-growing thread in TV Home history?!

(Edited by mark at 6:49 pm on Aug. 28, 2001)

Quite possibly the fastest growing thread ever.
Although that 'BBC down for 20 minutes even though none of us were watching it anyway we just like the little apology caption' thread would take some beating.
Bendy sausage eh? They should've gone for the garden idea we had - complete with water feature!

Nah, 'BBC Off-Air' thread would take some beating!

Cheers, Asa

Indeed....instead of having the temporary studio they could have had - now Sky News Building the Studio Live at Five with Charlie Dimmock and Tommy Walsh.....

erm...maybe not....
