Sky Sports News Changes

I noticed that SSN has updated ever so slightly today. The name astons are much smaller, same colours (red & white), and are animated. They also do not stretch across the whole picture, but are just the same size as the text. The first of a few changes to SSN over the next few days??? Let's hope so

NO! Although I think it can still be heard in the "Coming Up" segment on Football League Review if anyone feels like helping! Please!

In reply to your question, SSN don't show the goals on Saturday nights anymore because they can only show them after the terrestrial highlights programmes have shown them (MotD for Prem, and The Championship for FL goals)

I'm disappointed that they haven't changed the on-screen graphics (the side panel, the news ticker, and the breaking news ticker) for the new season.

It's a bit 'too old' for me now!

and the studio is looking positively dated now - it could do with a fresh lick of paint.

I thought that they were moving studios?

They wanted Studio 2 (old Sky News studio) heard they couldn't get the budget. I think it was turned into offices.

They were talking on Soccer AM this morning about their office web cam and they said they had moved into new offices

I don't like those new adverts - seem really OTT. I prefered the old ones.

the clock and date strap (or whatever it's called) in the top right hand corner of the screen now flips to read 'skysports.com'

Sky are really plugging their website currently. It appears on live matches under the team sheets and most other live match graphics and now on SSN. Wouldn't be surprised if they go the whole hog and change the channel name back to skysports.comTV!
