Interesting to see ITV going for this one. Easier to get people in the area when it's London, or saving face from their lack of effort overnight the other week?

BBC One NI had a brief flash of the network slide after Clique before using their (arguably nicer) one first shown the other week.

Is Itv going to go to the news for an update instead of a break during the chase?

Just saw a video on Sky News of Police telling everyone to get down in a bar, believed to be Southwark Tavern .

With an extremely offensive term shouted by someone at the very end.

Considering Sky have been holding that video (which I watched earlier), I'm surprised they didn't edit it out. Incidentally a friend of the bloke who shouted out the term could be heard having a go at him.

ITV News come on straight after The Chase's end of part… no bumper/ident or continuity announcement (though the latter I guess is a very BBC thing)

ITV using an ad break to come in to coverage. Sounds like rolling coverage.

It's as we discussed the other week - a short newsflash is really an invitation to the audience to switch to a news channel. They tend to only do them if they are in a position to do a lengthy piece of rolling news coverage.

There does seem to have been a change of practice in that regard since rolling news became a thing. You used to get those short newsflashes a lot, now they basically don't happen, and presumably for that exact reason.

If this happened in the mid-90s I imagine we'd have had a short newsflash out of the first episode of Clique, and another one added as and when each new development (Borough Market incident, Vauxhall incident, fatality news) came through. There's now a disincentive to briefly interrupt programming because of rolling news being a thing.

But this doesn't seem to stop the US, oddly enough, even though they literally invented rolling news - you still get a lot of ABC/NBC/CBS News Special Reports that don't end up swallowing entire hours of programming (I think that's how all three networks covered Manchester). And that's two networks who don't have their own big rolling news operation and one that does.
