There's a "new look" press preview starting tonight apparently...

The tweet states a new set, sofa and screen. The 'shoebox' has only recently been given a refresh, so could this mean press preview coming from somewhere else?

I wonder if there's the possibility of bringing the balcony back in use for that segment?

It's certainly an option, as it's been used on various Sky News promos recently and a few package-based pieces where an interview has been recorded.

"Business Live" is on from 19:00-20:00 tonight in the old Jeff Randall Live slot, with Dharshini David.

I think they could be suggesting the brand new 'screen' could be the new news wall. It would make good use of the new feature and they do have sufficient floor space infront of it to place a desk and a few chairs or so.

Just saw this, it's a weekly bulletin for a kids newspaper called "First News", have we heard this theme before?

Also, found this daily weather bulletin for them, including rounded weather symbols, much better than the ones they use on tv, imo.

They could have gone for a better name than "Sky News Business Live." Given that the markets have closed at that time of day, there's not a lot of business going on "live."

Perhaps Business Tonight would have been better?

Nice to see Jeff Randall Live is not totally dead, the Ipad graphic for it came up.

New press preview does look rather nice at the news wall, new sofas and graphics on the screen

So the new look press preview is coming from the big screen - which may explain the seats someone posted about spotting during a TOTH earlier in the month.

Live at five with Jeremy
So that means the Shoebox will only be used for Sunrise, 3 hours per day. I would like to see Afternoon Live from the Shoebox as 3 hours is not enough considering it was only revamped last year.
