The French news channels were already having special editions as Macron is due to speak to the nation at 7pm UK time, but BFMTV broke into breaking news at 6.30pm our time to cover the story.
CNN have dropped Amanpour and are running a U.S simulcast. Brianne Keilar anchoring with Melissa Bell reporting at the scene.
BBC and Sky also rolling with the news.
Al Jazeera sticking to tapped programming for the moment.
I don't think so yet as they're in Studio E (though BBC World News viewers can tell me more) but we do have Geeta Guru-Murthy, a regular World News presenter, anchoring. Of course the two channels start simulcasting anyway at the top of the hour and at 9pm too.
