They pioneered it in the UK, after all. Sky News Today from 2002-2005 was brilliant.We'll have to wait and see what happens, but the BBC News channel were going to be making regular trips into the newsroom when they moved in to NBH ten years ago - they did a bit on the first day, then gave up pretty quickly. Not surprising, it added nothing and was presumably a pain to organise.
I do hope the same happens here - I have no problem with multiple presentation areas or standing presentation, but prancing about is at best pointless and at worst downright distracting and irritating. I know a lot of you have a fondness for the Sky News Centre era, but for me it was presentationally fairly indistinguishable from 'what if The Day Today team had done a follow-up special 15 years later'.
