The RTE News Thread

So, it was actually the Nine that was affected not the 6? However on a Saturday the Nine is usually flexible anyway.

BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

Tim Willcox presenting World News America from Washington.

For some reason I thought he'd left the BBC.

You might be confusing him for Chris Eakin

Dave's Bottom looks weird

On a slightly related note. I wonder if anyone at UKTV realise that RTÉ have copies of Mrs Brown's Boys with clear break points and End of Part 1 and Part 2 boards, and why don't they get those copies rather than the BBC'S copies and save themselves the hassle of the abrupt fade out.

Red Nose Day 2017

Good to see them returning to comedians hosting rather than the presenters of late - even regular Davina McCall is ousted - though not too sure about the slot after the news essentially being a chat show - that be better at the end of the night IMO.

Thing is though, presenters are generally better at keeping a live television show together than a comedian, especially when things take a turn for the unexpected.
I remember one year Ant and Dec presented a segment of Comic Relief pretty much as an episode of Takeaway and it was a brilliant bit of Telly and damn funny to boot.

BBC World News from New Broadcasting House

Well, if Studio E can have toddler minded individuals walk in during a news cast, no reason World News can't have the same. Laughing

The Sport Thread

Since when have Sky been simulcasting the build-up for Premier League games on Sky 1? Haven't noticed it before this weekend.

It's not a normal thing, I think it was to promote to non Sky Sports subscribers that they were throwing their match up on Sky Sports Mix.

BBC News Channel Presentation - 21/03/16 onwards

Ladies and gentlemen, your news channel of the year.

Not strictly true as this was while BBC World News was in charge and they haven't won anything.

SM:TV Live to return for one off special?

Fun fact, I think it was 1999, but there was a big competition between Westlife and Cliff Richard for Christmas No. 1 Westlife won out in the end but there wasn't any official trophy for the feat. So, for the press photos, the band posed with the CD:UK No. 1 trophy instead.

SM:TV Live to return for one off special?

Anyone remember the name of the programme that tried to bring SM:TV to prime time? It wasn't Takeaway. It was something else. I remember it had Adults playing Challenge Ant.

CNN International & Domestic

Also on the weather, I see that instead of leaving a blank white bar over the cities weather when simulcasting a CNN domestic morning programme CNN International now have a World cities version of the bar.

BBC will never do that. Now that Top Gear is dead, Who is their big US moneyspinner.

Actually, it's Graham Norton these days.
