10pm News Embargo

Apparently big story embargoed until 10pm tonight. Not near a tv so is anyone dressed in black on the news channels ?

Can you please elaborate a little more. Where did you here this?

Probably COVID restriction related - they've been trailing cutting the number of people allowed in homes in England to 6, which TBH I thought it was anyway.

This is intriguing. And posted by a member who’s been here since 2005 so not someone who’s signed up to be irritating.

Assuming you mean the beeb, this is tonight's running order posted recently... obviously always has room for change...

Apparently it's a 22:30, embargo, anyway.

You really have to wonder what’s the point of a 10:30pm embargo...

"Big embargo" is the term being used by many outlets on twitter... so I presume it will he restriction related...

Stories get embargoed fairly often, it might even be a sports story or even just a picture. But if it's on the front page of one or more of the papers it just means it can't be shown until then or has to have a chunk redacted.

This one turned out just to be a picture of Prince William.

Probably just speculating but...
Katty Kay and Christian Fraser were both wearing black.
Julie Etchingham was wearing a black dress on the NAT promo.
A friend is telling me the Sky News anchor is wearing a blue jacket with black underneath.

And Boris is doing a broadcast tomorrow
