Coverage of the transition of power should take priority over scheduled programming every day of the week...


Agreed. I assume ITV News aren't permitted time in their dreary schedule

You assume wrong.

ITV have a news special tomorrow from 2pm to 5pm

This means Tipping Point has been AXED!

Twitter and The Express go nuts

Sounds like BBC and ITV have been sent timings and expect that Boris will have finished his speech and entered N.10 by 5pm

No doubt the Lunchtime news will be studio based and Nina will be in Downing Street or College Green for the special.

Excuse my naivety but I thought the date of the PM appointment was expected? If so why the changing of TV schedules for anticipated news coverage ??

Date was but presumably timing was unclear.

Guess so. I suppose I thought the BBC of all people might have known the timings of these events well in advance.

RTÉ did not have the Tory Leadership contest as their top story today. They were covering the homecoming of Shane Lowry from Clara in County Offaly on the 6.1 News, an RTÉ News Now special & 9 O'Clock News. RTÉ did put out two reports & two correspondents for live OB's on Boris Johnson's election as Conservative Leader today. One from London which was Sean Whelan & one from Leinster House in Dublin which was Mícheál Lehane.

"Moron Boris Johnson........." versus "more on Boris Johnson........"

I love Jane Hill. (I presume it was Jane's voice I heard?)
