The Sky News Thread

Was it? They seemed to be in Studio 21 all night based on what I saw.

Actually you're right, I mistook the blue/white background for it, but then remembered that there's a bit of red when it's the Studio 6 - apologises.

I’d normally say it’s much too early, but the Christmas decorations are going up in Sky Central and I’m kind of ok with it. pic.twitter.com/PsFFQFFuB5

I thought when the glass box first launched it would grow on me. But it Still looks like an empty airport terminal.

..... And there's plenty of those now!

No Meet the Press at 4pm this week.

It’s still on CNBC.

Probably good timing, during the election it was a good viewing, but not sure its something I’d tune in for each week, having said that showing it during the weekend overnights would be a good option, Hotspots and The Real Chernobyl are wheeled out each Saturday and Sunday. But it’s probably too expensive to do so for little viewers.

Makes little sense as it’s on a FTA channel. Probably will come back during the inauguration and around big events like The State of the Union.

I agree in that it doesn't need to be simulcast live every week, but I should point out CNBC is only on on satellite and cable, so Freeview (terrestrial) viewers can only watch it when it's shown on Sky News.

So with that I agree that Sky News could make better use of their evening/overnight hours by repeating Meet the Press at a later time.

In fact I would argue there's merit for using their weekday overnight hours to air other (C)NBC programming, such as Nightly News which is also currently on CNBC, or/and The News with Shep Smith which we only see when CNBC has a gap in the schedule. For example Nightly News could easily fit in to the 12:30am slot they repeat the press preview in.

Of course CBS Evening News used to be a regular overnight, as was ABC World News Tonight on the BBC, but I think it has been quite some time since either channel showed them regularly, long before the BBC switched their US partner to CBS.

Reminds me when Sky used to show the CBS Evening News.
