The CNN live bug has had a sloppy drop down. Razz


You can get antibiotics for that. I speak from experience.

ITV the only broadcaster to let us watch it full screen then - though even the location bug seems unnecessary and intrusive.



It's ludicrous having the lower third crap on BBC 1 and BBC News Channel, why have it on both?

I've watched it all on ITV too, least worst option


Why would BBC keep that horrible red banner and white flipper on screen through the whole thing? Seems a bit unnecessary considering such an event. Especially as it was billed as a separate programme and it was pretty obvious what was being shown!
I watched it on CNN and the graphics were pretty minimal.

The Beeb have completely lost the plot. There used to be a time when the BBC 1 version of such an event had no graffiti,

Hilarious that France24 refused and did not carry the audio of Trumps moaning rambling swansong at the airport. In part they basically said he is dangerous and incited an insurrection so they decided editorially France24 will play no part in the potential call for violence so we will not be playing the audio from this speech. They talked over it and recapped it after it was over.

Days like today is one benefit of ITV not having a news channel.

As a result they had to put on a bespoke programme, meanwhile BBC One just simulcast BBC World News complete with breaking news graphics throughout

Its interesting they cant get a streaming channel off the ground. Too bad. To have their news department (ITN) at their disposal and its not possible to do an on-the-cheap (ala CBSN) news channel. They could their continue coverage when the main network returns to regular programming. Oh well.

"Watching CNN" is trending in the UK on Twitter again.


CNN could have had upwards of 500 million viewers for the inauguration today.

I was watching on CNN US and didn't see that fault.

Sky News had a brief fault during Biden's speech where they lost the feed and Adam had to fill in.

Took them about 5 mins to fix it.
