Well there are things to like about the UK Tonight. Following the lines of the UK flag, the opening animations is strong and not as wishy washy as the other shows. I like the use of the box with SJM and the b-roll in the larger box. That seems to be a new prominent feature on this programme. This is a regularly used on CNN, MSNBC and other US news channels. I havent seen it used as regularly on SkyNews before or this much persay. This livens up the screen a bit. They need to dump that music, its literally the worst theme IMO. Its so boring and repetitive.

As far at the glass cube goes. Yes it looks soo much better. But its almost infuriating. it makes you wonder why they dumped the blue,white and red scheme from the nearly 20 years of their sets featuring those colours. Then to settle on the creamy bland "hospital corridor" view. In my opinion they need to take it one step further. they should wrap both those corners in video walls. They could even go the cheaper low-res route since it would be out of focus anyway. But that will give them a great deal of flexibility. They could change up the looks depending on the programme thats on air. They needed to do something. Though Im afraid they will probably revert back to the previous "mental institution corridor" look  during the dayside hours.

Imagining something like this on each side.

KPRC - 2 Houston has an outside corner screen on their set.



WJXT - 4 Jacksonville FL as well.
