Looks fine to me. Might be you seeing things, or has it been rectified?

The DOG seems to be duplicated at the moment. (Sky News HD - NowTV on BTTV)

During the pre-recorded documentary? That’s the norm for some reason.

The duplicate logo also pops up during the 0100 hour which is a repeat of the midnight bulletin.

Apparently the reason for 0100 hour being a replay of the midnight hour is to allow for COVID secure cleaning measures - allowing a deep clean of gallery and studio(s).
I noticed today during the early morning, they were running an hour behind from 2am because of the clock change, so the repeat airing of midnight was actually 2am BST, documentary slots at 3am/5am when usually 5am hour is a live bulletin then press preview repeat.

Are we expecting any changes to the look of Sky News tomorrow, or has it been delayed further?

Delayed by a month apparently.

At this rate, all the other Sky channels will be changing their branding again before Sky News have implemented this one!

I’ve just seen that Alistair Bunkall has been appointed Middle East Correspondent. He will certainly be missed in the Defence brief which he made his own and was on par with Geoff Meade in terms of his expertise.

Where does that leave the excellent Mark Stone who is currently Middle East Correspondent? Hopefully a promotion as he’s been exceptional in Beijing, Brussels and most recently based in Jerusalem.

EDIT: I’ve just seen that Mark will be moving to Washington D.C as US Correspondent. An excellent appointment.

Wish they'd keep the trial to the pop-up channel. No need to simulcast it.

Especially since there is a Downing Street briefing in just about 15 minutes and they’re still on the trial.

They stayed with it so long, Beth Rigby didn't have much time to do her bit, before she was cut off. This trial has no or little public interest in this country.
