This picture is from Channel 5's OK! TV website. By the looks of things, I guess Channel 5 News & OK! TV won't be sharing sets then!

If the news presenter is just going to be standing up, then they could just be in the corner of the same studio.

There's no need to have an elaborate set if you've got no desk or seat.

Surely just a screen on the wall opposite the OK!TV set would suffice?


I wrote that in the hope they wouldn't be sharing sets... I didn't like how on Five News, you could see the LFSF set poking out above. Although a TV is probably the only thing they need, I hope it looks a bit more interesting than just that...

Has 5 News Weather always had the hair and wardrobe credits at the beginning? How bizarre!

No. It's so tacky!

Why would you possibly want to know?

It's just another excuse for more sponsorship.

Hmm... it feels a bit game-showy - the music, and how there is a stand in front of the presenter... I like the ending shot though with just Matt & the TV...

The rounded boxes are not dissimilar to Five News of 2002...

(Not the idents, just the rounded boxes)

Not sure what to say about the set, but the music is really good, and quite an improvement of previous years.
