 Eamonn Holmes will host the breakfast show with Lorna Dunkley |
Satellite channel Sky News is to be given new graphics and 3D weather maps as part of a revamp. Monday's relaunch includes breaking up its rolling news service into dedicated programmes hosted from a studio more than twice the size of the current one.
Former GMTV host Eamonn Holmes will make his debut as the breakfast show presenter and Tony Blair is to give an exclusive evening interview.
Sky hopes the revamp will broaden the news channel's appeal.
New programmes include a lunchtime programme looking at major human interest stories, hosted by Kay Burley.
'Fresh appeal'
Sky says it will break into this "appointment to view" service to deliver major news updates.
The studio's "newswall" background screen will be double the size of its previous model, while the interactive Sky News Active service has been given a new look.
Nick Pollard, head of Sky News, said: "We are committed to developing the service we offer to viewers and these changes will seek to broaden our appeal while cementing our position as the most innovative force in news television."
