The headlines and opening sequence of the BBC News at 6 were not seen on World. Karin 'introduced' George and they cut to the bulletin.

We had the full intro and opening on the News channel.

World joined Sophie Raworth for the News at 1 in a similar style earlier.

EPG now been updated. GMB staying on air until 10.30.

I'm amazed that the networks update the EPG so quickly. In the US there's no EPG for OTA channels and the only ones are cable and satellite. Those usually take a few hours on a good day or days on a bad to change. Seems like they are an afterthought. How are they handled in the UK?

Back on topic coverage has been good on MSNBC and BBC.

Matt Barbet in London tonight anchoring 5 News Tonight. Julian Druker now in Central Brussels with Andy Bell still in Downing Street.

I'm in a hotel with only access to Euronews, quite surprised they have live (out of vision, obviously) presenters popping up between the pre recorded packages.

Varies by network but the major broadcasters are usually pretty good at updating it dynamically, as soon as they confirm a schedule change. People get very angry if their series links or recordings fail because of live events.

It's also worth noting that the Virgin Media EPG now updates dynamically after years of not supporting it.
London Lite and HarryB gave kudos
