Title: SKY News 30
Post by Administrator on Feb 5^th, 2019, 6:17pm

SKY news celebrated 30 years on air.

SKY positioned 44 cameras in their news-gathering facilities to observe 4 hours of their newsroom's operation.

The YouTube video is here.

Entitled "Sky News Raw".

By far the best rolling news channel if an event is unfolding and moving fast.
Top scores from me are for the excellent 22.30 Press Review, Adam Boulton as a political expert and even on slow moving days, all presenters look and sound fresh.
Just wish it was in HD.

Yes, WG, SD SKY News is dreadful. Unwatchable using DSAT. Soft, blurry...

I also do not like the audio 'Whoosh' when they go somewhere.... and the wipe they use looks like an analogue SP Betamax player unthreading itself!
