Jeeeesus christ, To The Point is a crock of shit. Who wants to sit there like i have been for the last 10mins like I have and watch to morons having a conversation. Constantly interupting each other, getting side tracked and changing the subject. BORING.

Paul Murray is leaning more to the right every day. Tonight he interviewed Alan Jones. It was a love-in. Then he interviewed Bernadi and I thought they were going to make love. I think Murray feels that if he goes to the right he can be the next big thing. It might be - but only if he believes in what he is saying - and he does not.
If only Paul was the left wing nutter. He would have been so much better as it would have been with conviction.

you should watch him at 5.30 weekdays with David Speers, Janine Perrett and Laura Jayes. Heās embarrassing, always yelling over the top of the others and old-man flirting with Jayes, calling her ādarlā and ādarlingā quite often.
Heās a buffoon.

What are Sky going to do with the Sky Election channel?, are they going to turn the channel into a 24 hour Sky UK channel?.
It will revert back to showing A-PAC which has been ādemotedā to the Red Button whilst the election channel has been on
In other words a channel not worth watching!

It feels like he is playing a caricature of himself sometimes (a bit like Stephen Colbert)
Iāve been wondering when they revert back to A-PAC, it would be nice to have Sky UK full-time (and in better than potato quality) but I canāt see it happening
NINJA EDIT - According to Foxtel, it reverts at the end of the month
Sky News Election Channel will no longer be available from 29 November 2016.
From November 30, A-PAC will be available on channel number 648. It will no longer be part of Sky News Multiview.
Will A-PAC be on channel 606 as well?
Coming to Sky News in 2017:
Samantha Maiden, who has left the Sunday Telegraph
Caroline Marcus, producer/reporter for Nine
Ticky Fullerton*, ABC News Business
(* in talks)
The ABC has approached both David Speers and Kieran Gilbert to leave Sky for roles with the national broadcaster, which has as usual caused all the conservative mouth-breathers from News Corp and The Australian to hurrumph and spit into their lobster mornay for breakfast after kicking their butlers.

Speers and Gilbert dont really fit the ever leaning right at Sky - their departure would be a loss, but it wont be a great surprise
Speersy in particular must be getting a good deal, heās hours are very long so surprised he wouldnāt want to go somewhere else.
Jennifer Beschwati is moving to their Canberra bureau as well
The way The Australian (namely Darren Davidson who wrote both articles) has reported on both of these stories have been quite astounding. On one hand, they have no problem (as there shouldnāt be) with Sky poaching talent from other networks and outlets. Yet on the other hand, the ABC merely having talks with Speers and Gilbert apparently means theyāre
Davidson even goes as far as saying:
I get it, News Corp (if the reports are right) are about to take over ANC/Sky News so they have a vested interest in wanting Speers and Gilbert to remain to spearhead the Canberra bureau of whatever Sky becomes. In saying that, this is a perfect example of how bad The Australianās media section has become over the past few years. Instead of reporting on the media impartially and fairly, the section has become for the most part a section dedicated to publishing hatchet job stories about the ABC and Fairfax. Of course both should be criticized when and where itās warranted (and thereās been reasons to do so over the past year) + the section still publishes some good stories from time-to-time. However, itās bad when the editorial focus of that section seems to be now all about attacking the ABC and Fairfax at every opportunity instead of reporting on, analyzing and critiquing the media landscape weāre all touched and affected by every single day.

Dan Bourchier has finished up in the Canberra bureau and has left Sky News.
Outsiders, featuring Rowan Dean, Mark Latham and Ross Cameron, is a self-described pro-Trump program and Sky News answer to the āout-of-touch inner-city leftist classā on the ABCās Insiders. It starts 10:00am, 4 December, The Australian is reporting.

SKY has lost some serious talent over 12 months. All journosā¦pollies with no tv talent taking over.
Nina Stevens, Stan Grant (ABC), Vanessa Grimm, David Lipson (ABC), Cameron Price (Seven), Tim Webster (2UE), Ben Dominsino, Uma Patel (ABC), Carrington Clarke (ABC), Mathew Thompson (Nine) , Dan Bourchier.
Itās starting to get embarrassing over there.
