I reckon there's a competition running between the BBC and Sky for the worst green screen set/studio.
Looking at that photo, it's still hard to believe Sky actually broadcasts from a place like that.

Sky’s virtual extension looks dreadful, you wouldn’t think it was made by the same team that created the backdrop for ITV News.

See, I disagree there. I think (and I’ve said this on here before) that there is something of the uncanny valley about ITV’s backdrop. The CGI chairs bug me especially, and I think the whole thing looks as if it’s been abandoned after a zombie apocalypse.
While I’ve also said this before, I think VTM’s backdrop is about the best of the virtual newsrooms (though the studio itself isn’t virtual). Real people were green-screened into said backdrop, in order to make it look more like a working newsroom:
Of course, you could always forget about making your virtual set look somewhat realistic, and go completely the other way, like ZDF do:
I must admit, though, for me, real beats virtual every time. And as for Sky itself, you wouldn’t think that that second set belonged to an international news channel, would you?

Looks more like a scene out of a computer game rather than real life.
This looks as though they removed the 'screen' element of the green screen for this segment on Sunrise this morning. I think they should put the delay in that part of the studio and use it more often - it doesn't look too bad.

Looks like a change to the schedule.
According to Digiguide, the schedule was supposed to be news at 2pm, Week in Interviews at 2:30pm, followed by an hour of news at 3pm.
Perhaps there's a technical or staffing reason why they can't show the scheduled news.
They normally show the headlines at the TOTH when they show something else such as a documentary in an hour-long slot. Were there any headlines shown at 2pm?
Sky are showing an Oceans documentary at 2pm today, followed by The Pledge at 3pm. Two whole hours without news, is there any known reason?
