What a breath of fresh air Gareth Barlow is on Sky Breakfast (and other morning slots). Clear, authoritative, well spoken and insightful, resisting the thought that his opinions are more important than the interviewee’s. I hope he gets his own programme eventually.

Its amazing when the presenters are allowed to have a bit of personality on air....Of course there is a happy medium. But the robotic autocue reader presenters...no thanks. This was great.

A titbit from The Athletic's feature on Monday Night Football - apparently Sky News will be using that particular Sky Sports studio for its election night coverage - so it looks as if the glass box won't be in use this year. Great news, as it's a brilliant visual space
New tagline and promo has appeared today which I rather like. “The full story, first.”
Not had much outing so far today though with rolling coverage of the blood inquiry and the news from Iran, but the top of the hour I saw earlier had been updated.

I'm sure they will make very good use of the space.
In 2019 they didn't actually use the Glass Box itself, but the area opposite, and the atrium through the building for some amazing AR. I flipped between channels at the start of the results process, but settled on Sky News in the end because their pres just seemed so much better than the others.
Is it just me but I find Kamali Melbourne really difficult to watch. He doesn’t seem to be in control half of the time and I have no confidence watching him.
