Identification and Stings
Bruce Hammal has long been the voice of Sky News' identification announcements. Since October 2005 he has been heard at the top of each hour introducing programmes by announcing, "Live from the Sky News Centre, this is Programme name with presenters" or "This is programme name with presenter/s".
Several years earlier, after the merger between Sky Television plc & British Satellite Broadcasting, Hammel's introduction was "This is Sky News a part of the British Sky Broadcasting Network"; in 1993 the introduction was "From the Sky satellite network this is Sky News"; and by 1995 "This is Sky News, part of the Sky Television Network" - or just "This is Sky News".

Famous quotes containing the words identification and and/or stings:
“Introspection is self-improvement and therefore introspection is self-centeredness. Awareness is not self-improvement. On the contrary, it is the ending of the self, of the “I,” with all its peculiar idiosyncrasies, memories, demands, and pursuits. In introspection there is identification and condemnation. In awareness there is no condemnation or identification; therefore, there is no self-improvement. There is a vast difference between the two.”
—Jiddu Krishnamurti (b. 1895)
“Pride ruined the angels,
Their shame them restores;
And the joy that is sweetest
Lurks in stings of remorse.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
