I dont believe there have anyone in Salford at that time.

They must do. How can they not always have a reporter on standby. Just a single reporter.

Plus there is hourly live sports bulletins on World through the night (and one on the NC at 01:45)

That likely won't be happening. Can't they send the presenter out?

Fox's Sky news footage has a 21 min lag on it.

Just saw the Sky News Clock showing 23:59

They were taking it live with no delay a couple of minutes ago.

I hope this is completely wrong. This is being reported by NBC News and set out to their affiliates. This is still early, hopefully these numbers are not actually true.

The roads in the area are likely gridlocked, so getting an ob vehicle there is likely to be a challenge

They had the live tag in the corner when I saw it on there, but the Sky News clock showed earlier.

Interestingly the BBC have decided to replay the graphic but apparently sadly accurate eye witness report from earlier.

Why arent there any reporters there.?! You have people hundreds of miles away in London trying to reports a story in Manchester. The presenters keep saying there is confusion, no one knows whats happened.....Yeah because all the reporters are tucked up in bed or watching this on tv with everyone else.

Another US outlet is also reporting double figures of fatalities.

BBC ONE handing over to the News Channel - seems that Newsday is bringing breaking news in light of the awful news at Manchester.

5 Live have had witnesses on the phone. Other than that, reporting has been appalling IMO.

Just fox capturing earlier video. They've mostly taken live coverage with no delay.
