Sky News: 2021 Refresh

[valley]

I notice overnights some days over the last few weeks have repeated midnight throughout til 6am, doesn’t seem to be any reasoning on when they do this, for instance one day this week they missed a few key medals for Team GB despite leading with that at 6am, but not a mention at all - bar the ticker - at 3am, 4am or 5am.

Interesting if they do have a separate morning shift, and who’ll present it. Maybe nice to see Niall get a lie in and do that shift for a few weeks.

I understand that this is due to, uh, "pingdemic" reasons and people on annual leave, resulting in reduced staffing levels for overnights and prioritising staff for during the day (they can go on-air in case of genuine breaking news overnight.)

I agree - Niall is on holiday though according to his Twitter!
