This is such a bad hoax.This is not funny,but severe. I could cry If I compare skynews today with the skynews 2 years ago.


It's not a hoax, it's a joke, for a start. It's not severe, and the lack of the 'Swoosh' is not detrimental to your viewing experience...

If you cried when comparing Sky News with what it was two years ago, I'd be seriously worried for the state of your mental health.


Laughing


As always gloating! Sad


apparently the next version plugs into your sky broadband and can sound a warning of an imminent graphics change even if your TV is off or not tuned to Sky News.

Magnificent technology.


Does the upgrade cost? Or free? And what if you have the existing package? free upgrade?

I think you should stop watching TV for a while. It's starting to affect your mental state... Or alternatively, switch to Fox News - that's filled with all the swooshing, banging, bleeping, strobing, flashing and shouting you could ever dream of.

Or, go to Bloomberg, if you want swooshing tickers. Banging proffesionalism. Bleeping Interviews....Though you'll never return to the real world that you are currently in. Wink

By the way, seriously. Who makes the sound effects for Sky News?

Steering back to presentation, unfortunately I can't get a cap of this at the moment; the footage Sky News has of the prison fire in Honduras is presumably taken from local networks, and the graphics used on one channel are a blatant replica of the BBC News Channel's. Take a peek at the report if you can.

I saw a clip from that station on the BBC News Channel earlier, it was quite funny as it lined up almost exactly.

Even with the blatant copy, *Cough Cough* Ugarit News, they still managed to have messed it up.

More accurate than this which made it into the Daily Mail a couple of weeks ago in an attempt to ridicule the BBC for putting up an obviously fake name...
