That BBC News 24 intro is very new while that Sky News intro is very old. However, I do agree that the channels seem to be copying each other to a certain extent. I hate Sky News now – they’ve cut out their nice music and the camera zooming around the studio and replaced it with a rubbish clock and a news clip. At least RTÉ come up with new ideas – even if they are a bit wierd. Click here to see their old news intro (it looks a bit like Vista to me) and click here to see their new news intro (I still can’t work out what that 3D stuff is meant to be).
