Launch TalkTV

[London Lite]

I was about to say there's a Fox News influence in the lower thirds.

They're having issues with the live stream on the TalkTV website. It keeps buffering.

Breaking News! Live chat calls it U.K Fox!

Like the graphics but a tad American.

I'm not sure how I feel about the graphics so far. It all seems a bit 'busy' for lack of a better word. Maybe it'll grow on me though

I feel the same, it’s all too much. Distracts from the show.

Not sure the reporter's form of words about the man who's been arrested was quite right in legal terms

I complained about the look of this set in the other thread. But I think it looks great. Even though the graphics are very American it does look good on screen.

Definitely got the Fox "polish". Aside from that lip sync issue the picture and sound seem fine also. I guess Murdoch didn't cut corners in the way the competition did.

YouTube hit 3k briefly before falling back to 2.7k. OSG looks rather good imo. No issues with quality beyond that sync issue right at the start. Straight into a live OB was showboating!

A new ad just aired on channel 5.

Whilst we could expect to see some graphic changes over the coming weeks/months, the launch has certainly gone a LOT better than GBN, which is obviously down to them actually having some decent tech and experienced people to run it. and Murdoch wouldn't have a load of s*** going out on air.

Does feel like some of the graphics are very Fox News like. The guest caption for example is very similar in style and the way the text is formated.

[NewsGuy]

Must say Tom Newton Dunn is a very impressive presenter too.

[Rob]

Really enjoying The News Desk so far.

Here's video of the launch:

The YouTube stream isn't deinterlaced.
