Coronavirus | Television News Coverage

Jane Hill just promoted a BBC News Special for today's Downing St press conference on BBC One 'for viewers in England' (and on the BBC News Channel) - has this happened before? Can't remember it occurring or seeing it mentioned here.

Understand the reasoning behind it - just not sure if it normally happens.

Should say that today it's the Health Secretary - I think it's normally only him or the PM who gets a slot on BBC One now?

Huw Edwards making clear his views about some of the more 'commentary' style of TV news in the States...

It’s cheap grandstanding. Whether you agree with sentiments or not. Plenty of it on both sides in the 🇺🇸 and no doubt more of it making its way soon to 🇬🇧 — it’s not news, it’s a tirade. 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://t.co/qpvd6stB6G
