I’ve watch about two hours of Sun News so far and these are my initial feelings…
The Source – better than I expected. In the past I’ve found Ezra to be grating in large doses (in a Robin Williams sort of way) but he does a pretty good job of not being over the top 100% of the time here.

Areas to improve: a little less monologue and a little more action
ByLine – First guest was dry and boring. The graphics and set are dated and not consistent with the rest of the network. Brian appeared nervous and stumbled on his sentences early on. But the show ended strong and I believe Brian has what it takes to make this a great show – it just isn’t there yet.

Areas to improve: Ditch the set and ditch the boring guests.
Adler – I could listen to this guy all day. He could read the dictionary and make it interesting. I only caught about 10 minutes of this show so I don’t have much to say but loved what I saw.

General impressions? Great first day. Rough around the edges but to be expected. Some really cheesy commercials but hopefully they will go away once the station is well established. I haven’t watched news/opinion content on the other networks for about 10 years but I will be watching this station with some regularity. I expect I am not alone.
I’ve added a link to the channel’s website. Everyone else with a website or blog should do the same. We need to do our part to make this channel work!
