Oh, I think there is someone in the 9/11 thread who is upset that Crossroads has moved to ITV2… there are always people like that who don't really think twice before posting.

There's a 9/11 thread on this forum? Wow

Yep, took literally 30 seconds to find

Did Crossroads come back? Will CITV be shown today? Has People Versus been cancelled? (visits ITV's website) Now and next looks normal. It says 'NOW Catchphrase NEXT ITV News LATER Mopatop's Shop' Which is WRONG! Catchphrase has been cancelled! Crossroads will the the next programme, it got interrupted and didn't return, didn't it?

I am a bit surprised they don't have a teleprompter set up on one of the cameras. Additionally it seems the camera work seems to be predominately over the shoulder. Would look much better if it was on a tripod where they pan and tilt as needed.


It also appears they have a locked off camera shot from a building above their location. It appears Victoria and her crew are in the center of the frame with the blue photojournalist.

That's the camera on top of the mast on the truck.


On the teleprompter - it's an expensive bit of kit and you either need an extra return vision circuit or a local operator. So - in this instance - its people or tying up expensive satellite space.

Unlike NBC the BBC (must be getting on for) 20 people to do a single presenter live.

Huw on the one, which even in these kind of events is almost unheard of.

The description just says 'Matt Allwright and Michelle Ackerley present stories from across the country'.

Well, I've had a quick look and can't see anything about them extending the news the day after, but I presume there were some changes. https://tvforum.uk/thenewsroom/london-bombings-tv-news-coverage-16654/

Interesting article reposted here with the BBC and ITV ratings from 7/7: https://tvforum.uk/forums/post298395#post-298395

Huw has done the One on location before during serious news events, bit surprised they didn't use Ben the same as yesterday though.

This is interesting, a compilation of coverage of the story as heard on various radio stations, both local and national
