Sky Sports Graphics

At last. The new look Sky Sports News is fantastic. Just wish they'd remove the football bias and start focusing on other sports more.

Sorry if this is turning into a bit of a football thread, but the Watford/Coventry game has been postponed...

Watford Football Club wish to announce that today's Division One fixture against Coventry City has been postponed.

"This is owing to tragic circumstances beyond our control. The club will be in a position to provide further information as and when it is able to do so."

Also, I am right in thinking the font being used by SSN is Futura, which CNN also use at the moment.

Doesn't sound good does it. I think this story must be a serious one unfortunatley.

BBC Sport item

apparently one of the Watford players died this morning in a car crash.

Yes tragic news. Jimmy Davis was killed in a crash on the M40 this morning.

Looks like ITV have pretty much given up with the Goal Rush. It's not on today and will only be on for 1 hour next Saturday on ITV1. Repeats of CDUK on ITV2 instead.

Other programming notes:

Soccer AM All Sports Show - Sky Sports 1, Friday at 6pm
Soccer AM - Sky Sports 1, Next Saturday at 9am.

i don't like it, there's too much white on the screen. i hate it when there's too much white on a tv screen or pc monitor when you're looking at particular websites or using Word Processing software. people need to realise it's not like paper, it's sheer white light. it's like constantly looking at a lightbulb. and especially in this weather, where i like to keep the lights off to keep the room cool.

I hope you all noticed that they used the new scoreline graphic for the Nottingham Forest game!
They save the best for the good teams

Strange mix of what I assume will be the new graphics style and the old style.

Looks like Sky News a bit...

Aha, the Sky Sports News ticker changes to Red for any Breaking News.

More than a bit.

Not that we would ever read anything into that, though, mdta.

Saying that on the off chance that News did decide to go for something similar, they would at least look a hell of a lot better than what's there now.
