Why provide a link to something that requires us to register, create a username and log in??


Perhaps because, given the nature of this website, many people will have a FREE Guardian Unlimited account to access Media Guardian stories? Engage thinking mode in future.

Because it's inappropriate to reproduce articles from other sites without their permission.

It's free to register, it takes all of about 30 seconds - I mean seriously, it would have taken you longer to write your complaint in your previous post than it would have taken you to register for access to the MediaGuardian site in the first place.

Oh jesus christ, why can't she just stay behind the news desk? Do we care if she was caught in a storm at sea? No. You're a newsreader darling, stick to it.

You will all be pleased to know that I am now fully registered and also have my very own FREE Guardian Unlimited account!! Thanks for the advice.


While reading through the article in question I note that
"Sky News has never measured its success by ratings alone," a Sky News spokeswoman said.

"The definition of success for Sky News is to be the most widely respected and highly valued news service in the UK.


YEAH!! well ya would say that when you are losing viewers!!

Also - just a question - it says SKYNEWS will disappear from FREEVIEW in the near future . . . . but my FREEVIEW already has no SKYNEWS. what's going on there??

Might, not will. And not yet.

Because you don't have your Freeview set up correctly.

Looks like there is now with this possible new foot & mouth outbreak - maybe they stayed off HARDtalk because they were getting little bits on the wires and were expecting confirmation?
