According to the EPG, Stephen and Gillian are doing the normal weekend edition of @Breakfast from 6-8am with Kay Burley@Breakfast from 8-10am followed by extensive Brexit coverage until 5pm with a round-up with Jonathan Samuels from 8-9pm.


Thats interesting as Stephen said on twitter he would not be on during Saturday as he's got an event to attend as himself. not as the man off the telly.

They really are spoiling us. 6 days in a row of Kay Burley@Breakfast

After I posted the above I did a search on Twitter for "Sky News Bias" just to see what it comes up with and most of the comments are about their bias against Brexit. its not me saying it its hundreds of others day in day out. Look at any tweet Sky News put out on brexit and read through the comments.

edit: I forgot to mention earlier about the list of guests they had on for the first Kay Burley@Breakfast.
Can you spot the problem?

- SNP Leader & Scotland's First Minister @NicolaSturgeon

- London Mayor @SadiqKhan

- Labour's shad minister for cab office Jon Trickett

- LD's Sam Gyimah

All remainers. they do themselves no favours


I expected someone on a TV presentation site to have a better understanding than that. How do you not know that they asked many 'brexiteers' onto the first show but they weren't available? You have to look across the whole output.Also looking down tweets isn't exactly a scientific approach. I'm guessing which way you fall based on your comments but the social media echo chamber's algorithm is more likely to show you tweets to the side you err. You're winning when people on both sides say you're biased.

To suggest that not a single brexiteer was available is rubbish. Keep going until you find one in the interest of balance. You can be sure that if they had a brexiteer on they would immediately have a remainer on to balance it out. I've been watching the output day in day out for 3.5 years and increasingly they have a remain agenda

Totally disagree about the echo chamber. I look at a sky news tweet usually when linked in the live blogs on the website then read down the comments to see what others are thinking. not selectively. I read all comments on that tweet.

You say you are winning when people on both sides say you are biased. how come most of the comments say Sky and the mainstream tv media in general are against Brexit then? its rare I see someone accuse them of being for Brexit.

I'm not going to respond to this thread again on this subject as I do not want to take us off the topic of presentation but people are welcome to PM me providing they stay civil

so back on topic. I don't think anyone has mentioned it but Gamal joined Gillian this morning for @Breakfast

Normal Kay Burley@Breakfast branding on the 8-10am slot

Adam Boulton has now taken over from Kay at 10am

Really? You're one of the few people who have ever actually expressed that. Most of the people in my circle of friends have criticised the media as a whole for being very anti-EU and pro-Brexit over the last few years. The difference is we don't shout about anything and everything all the time on social media which is not exactly the most reliable source of gauging public opinion.

Because they are the ones who shout the loudest on social media. They're not exactly, as I said just now, representative of actual public opinion.

Notable now that during the coverage in the House Of Commons, Sky News are using an info-screen type style, with the live video on the left, and extra graphics including social media posts and quotes, on the right hand side.

That's how Sky News has presented PMQs and big debates for ages.

BBC News often do something similar for live events as well.

Looks like they're having problems overriding the ad break just now. Cut to break for 20 seconds at 14:56 as would happen normally, before cutting to and from the House of Commons
