Yes, they've had a shot of adrenaline each and they are up on their feet for a new "dynamic" look to Sunrise !! Hmmm...........

Well at least they are doing something different... not sure that standing up and delivering the same programme agenda is really going to work.
That said, the TOTH sequence is much improved.
But those straps. Honestly, what were they thinking? When you see the cleverness of the News 24 ones, the brightness of ITV's... you wonder whether they realise just how shoddy they look compared to everyone else.

Well done to them for the production since 7am. I know you're all going to say that it's just the same as Sky News Today but at least they've changed from just sitting behind the desk. I certainly have thought it was mutch more watchable.
On the graphics - well the opners are as expected but those red and white straps, please get rid and that awful non-moving ticker as well

I have to say I think the 'new' graphics are a step in the right direction. The white straps with the red line at the top are a bit tidier than the old ones, and a bit more stylish, although they'd look much better if the white was semi-transparent - they do look a bit cheap at the moment. And I really like the nice dark blue background for split screens.
I still prefer the News 24 graphics but, in any case, it appears that the nasty big slug has been banished!

The TOTH ident looks good, just like the Aussie one, but I'm not sure about the titles after the headlines - they look a bit like one of Martin's Flash recreations - don't know what it is, but the countries just look a bit flat compared to the previous version.
Other graphics aren't much of a step forward, really (although the blue background for the two-ways is good) and I especially don't like the use of red and white all the time - worked great for the Sky News Flash strap as an attention grabber, but not all the time.
Sports graphics are also nothing special - I thought they would go the way of their PFA Footballer of the Year graphics last week, with a nice background shot of a football pitch, a bit like BBC Sport, but nice all the same.
Every time I've seen Sky News have a new look start at 6am, it's done the same thing - start at exactly 6am, with the old ident (and, previously, menu) going into the new headline sequence.
That slogan on the "static ticker" (!) is there presumably because of the simulcast with Five, where pressing red & select doesn't bring up Active.
No, because there isn't a News Channel of the Year BAFTA. It was awarded by the RTS in Feburary.

This opener was somewhat confusing.
The TOTH titles were the old ones, with no changes to the headline sequence, then the sting into the two presenter shot was new...

Is this all because SKY News won NCOTY award last night at the BAFTAs?
