This isn't Sky News website, you'd have to double check with Sky News for confirmation, but according to IMDb (which is one of the only sources I can readily find that has information!) they were -
Christina Patterson - Journalist & Author, and Kulveer Ranger - Boris Johnson's Former Adviser.
The presenter was Jonathan Samuels.
But you could also check by watching it on YouTube - Press Preview: A first look at Sunday's newspaper headlines - YouTube

Sky News is carried on the ArqA/COM5 multiplex.
Following the fire at the main Bilsdale mast, the temporary "Bilsdale Quarry" mast has now been brought into service (Oct 13th). You should do a retune and should be able to receive all multiplexes being transmitted from there (no Local mux though).
For your locale. your aerial should be pointing at a bearing of 284 degrees, slightly W of WNW with the rods horizontal.

Disconnect the Aerial from the tv not just the wall, retune which will clear all previous presets and favourites, when finished retune again with aerial plugged into tv and all channels should appear against correct channel numbers, hint - worked for me but I had to unplug the aerial cable from the tv and not just the faceplate on the wall.

Tellybelly: If there is a very strong signal sometimes a short length of cable plugged in to the back of the TV is all the antenna you need.
