hi
anyone else think the "new look" sky news is crap?
the unfinished airport departure lounge with vomit inducing scrolling sky,
weather map even worse than the bbc's, presenters wandering around evidently
looking for something to sit on and to cap it all - eamon "smug git"
holmes!!
i though i'd got tvam or that new comedy show at first
phil
btw is there any truth in the rumour that the new presenters are terry wogan
and richard madeley?

No, it's a vast improvement. Most of the on-screen dross has
disappeared and for the first time in years one can actually see the
screen behind the red dots, logos, clocks and tickers.

Indeed the new-look Sky News makes BBCNews24 look commercial and
cheap.

I prefer the new look myself - for one thing, it is faster.

The sky active part is quicker but the set looks tacky to me. Intro music is
better but do we really need 3 newsreaders standing at that stupid round
podium each saying a sentance in turn ?!!

What have they done with the old set, new home for sky sports news I think ?

I like the sky active, think its a lot faster. But waking up to
Eammon Holmes on half the GMTV set was enough to lose me as a morning
viewer!

Here, here.

I like the overall look of new Sky News, like the Widescreen, like the
reduction in size of the banner and other clutter.

But, why on earth
- does it take 3 people to read the news
- do they have to stand up round a little table like a coffee bar

I thought it was political correctness when they had 2 news readers, a man
and a woman.
But why 3?
Should it be even more PC and ensure all ethnic minorities are fairly
represented?
Perhaps there should there be a dozen readers with one word each instead of
one sentence?

And why has what was a relatively straight news channel, dumbed down to GMTV
levels for breakfast?
They have lost me as a viewer in the mornings.

One thing that bugs me
ABOUT SKY NEWS PRESENTERS
is the way they take turns
IN READING OUT THE
news story.
FIRST ONE NEWS READER TALKS
and then the other
IT IS LIKE THEY ARE FIGHTING
to get the news across.
VERY UNCOMFORTABLE
for us, the viewer
WHO JUST WANTS
to hear the news.
WHY CANT ONE PERSON
read at a time
?

hi
i'm glad i'm not entirely alone! thought i was turning into a GOG
no-one else find the scrolling clouds and weather regurgitatory?
and why does the news flash flash away half the morning, regardless of the
value/importance of the flash - dumbing down?

The funny thing is, even though I have a widescreen TV I still watch
the 4:3 international version to avoid the annoying "scroller" which
raises three questions:

1. Why is the international version still 4:3.

2. Why do they bother with the scrolling text as it can only distract
from the current programme.

3. Why, even though the international feed has no scroller, is that
area of the screen still blanked off?

I can't stand that now it is in widescreen the camera is focused so close to
the presenter that when they put any captions on the screen half his face
disappears. I don't need to see every pore of their skin - can't they back
the camera off a bit.

I also miss the sports news at 6:20 - the sportsline at 6:30 is just too
much padding and seems to get cut everytime there'a a "big" story.
