Is it the slightly outdated studio? The always-sitting format of the bulletin? Both of them can be found in regional newscasts.
For some reason I do not have that feeling with another overseas program, World News America - it has this fast-paced, self-confident feeling that evades Newsday.
May be it is the slow connection between the studio in Singapore and the gallery in London that results sometimes in these awkward pauses with the presenter silently looking right into the camera for a good couple of seconds?
I haven't watched much since they relaunched but the co-anchoring aspect (even if the co-anchor was all the way back in London), plus more variety in presentation has made it less dynamic than before. Also Rico Hizon was something to like forward to at the bottom of the hour
