Hi TVF people,

I'm Max - I'm one of the Digital Producers at Sky News and I was responsible for putting together a lot of the anniversary content, including the first bulletin (and yes, before you ask, I AM still humming the original theme tune). It was extremely hard work, but like you guys, I'm a massive news/pres geek, so it really was an awful lot of fun.

On the iPad, you'll find a full "25 Years, 25 Stories" interactive timeline, with video of a full report from each year, 1989-2013, so do make sure you check it out. (2014 would've made it 26!)

We've also uploaded a selection of these packages to YouTube here - enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG8IrydigQfcD8ug-F71fwLEOuOsGzXWK

Any chance of a special edition of Sunrise with old faces happening soon?

I actually work on Sunrise, and I'm afraid that even if we were, I wouldn't be allowed to tell you!

I take it that, as Jeff Randall is leaving and Adam Boulton is going to be fronting a new evening show, that there's going to be a wider revamp of the channel in the coming months?

I'd imagine that the Boulton show will be starting in the Autumn, giving it a good run up to the General Election? Seems to make the most sense to me.

I would be so pleased if this always repeating theme tune finally changes Smile

Welcome to TV Forum! Thanks for putting together that anniversary content. Always great to have another insider who is also a pres geek. Smile

You're very welcome! I've actually been a lurker here for the best part of a decade... and to give a definitive answer, you won't be seeing any vintage presenting combos.
