The BBC pictures are a lot better than Sky's tonight. Very dramatic on BBC. Sky seem to be very far away for what is happening.

Do the overnight team at Sky News not know how to operate the on screen astons? It seems to be after midnight half the time, with a big breaking news story - the output seems to be aston-less.

And now the ticker is jammed on yellow static.


Sky have gone for a break!


They've fixed the ticker but still no astons.

No, I don't think that's the case. It happens quite frequently overnight when Breaking news happens that the output is astonless.

I've always just assumed that the overnight team don't know how to use the graphics properly.

This appears to be the house in question where the suspect has been hiding. Closer in view shows what appears to be a boat in the back yard.

Another break now. I wonder are they on automation overnight and no one knows how to stop them?

NBC's coverage with Brian Williams is superb. No wild speculation, just quality news reporting.

Sky's overnight coverage threadbare, and quite frankly, inadequate.
