On the other hand, This Morning felt very jarring today. Phillip explained how there were behind-the-scenes discussions with how to approach the programme today, however they seemed to provide very little updates, which I thought they would have. For example, at 11am/12pm they were happy, laughing, smiling etc when I felt it would've been better to recap the news for viewers.
How dare they be happy, laughing and smiling. That is exactly what ISIS want.

I just felt that their jokes were a little off-putting considering how they began the show. It's a difficult balancing act, I know. But just a personal thought.
I expect so. This Morning often has a mix of serious and light-hearted items - so nothing particularly different here, other than the fact that the serious content was breaking news rather than a scheduled item.
From what I understand here in the US the networks offered continuous special reports up until the start of the east coast morning show feed. NBC and CBS are still on the air as of 11 AM where ABC signed off at 9AM when Good Morning America ended.
NBC and CBS are not in "special report" mode right now. They are using normal graphics but with a modified "skin" to them. Additionally they are still airing commercials and have local station breaks at :25 and :55 past the hour.
From what I watched of This Morning, they did a segment on the attacks and a terrorism phone-in, designed for the target audience.
It's a difficult issue for TM, it has a topical element, yet viewers, some still frustrated that they axed Jeremy Kyle want the diet of crass competitions, soap gossip and other features as a distraction from the news.
In France, the lifestyle show CCVB on France 2 had an intermittent ticker informing viewers to visit the France tv info news site or wait for a newsflash "in a few minutes"
Unlike This Morning or Loose Women, CCVB is pre-recorded before broadcast as presenter Stéphane Bern hosts a daytime radio show on speech station RTL, so can't quite reflect to breaking news.
CBS News signed off on TV at noon - the same time the show signs off out on the west coast. NBC is supposedly continuing coverage on Today past noon but they offered an out for local news.
