Well you're clearly an expert in these matters.

I've just switched on SKY and despite a major anti-terror operation in France they're leading with mobile phones in cars...

It says in that report that she'll be in charge of all output. Well what will John Ryley be doing? Isn't that his job? Honestly, Sky News must be getting as bad as the BBC, what with all these different managers, doing the same job.
Christina is essentially taking on the role that John McAndrew left earlier this year.
5 News editor Cristina Nicolotti Squires is joining Sky News as Director of Content in January.

Don't worry, the French news channels aren't as interested either. They led with it, then returned to normal programming. i>Télé with a football results show and LCI with pre-recorded padding.

At your time of posting, the 'incident' which was a false alarm, had been over for at least two hours.

Exactly. One can have opinions about the content, but if they're not based in any form of realism, well, they just don't amount to much. Don't try to play "armchair editor" when said armchair is - figuratively speaking - pointed at the wall.

Which still feels like two people to do the same job. If McAndrew was head of output, and his replacement will do the same, what's Ryley doing? Sky News is not that big an operation - how many bosses does it need?

I've never worked in the media industry, and have no insider knowledge whatsoever, but doesn't seem at all unreasonable to me to have someone focusing entirely on 'content' reporting to a manager who oversees the whole operation. I would imagine that an operation like Sky News must have at least 500 or so employees, and there's a huge amount to running any operation of that size beyond what's seen on screen.

John McAndrew wasn't Head of Output; Neil Dunwoodie was and still is. As the previous poster rightly says, the two positions are distinct.

Cameras 8-11?
Take it cams 1-7 are in the 'other' new studio, or are they over in the current Sky News Centre?
