Drop all the specialized shows and useless filler, bring back double headed bulletins hour after hour. This is what Sky News did when they were at the top!
I get the sense (though I don’t know for certain) that John Ryley was never a big fan of two-presenter news. It was he who ditched it back in 2007 for that awful main presenter/side presenter format (which itself was ditched after a few years). When duos did come back they were ditched again within a few years.
As for the climate show, I suspect (though again I don’t know) that that was an initiative imposed by Sky itself - they do love their campaigns, after all!
