The period of sensitivity is 25 working days, and there are additional non-working days in Gibraltar in that period.


Are there any Ofcom mandated channels there ? I read recently Sky and BBC World had been removed from the cable network there ?


That was Sky (not sure about BBC) making a deal with a telecoms provider in Gibraltar which forced the unofficial/illegal rebroadcasters of their channels to remove all Sky channels from their package.

Unofficial provider - http://www.gibsat.com/
New official offering - https://www.gibtele.com/sofi/apps-and-channels

One consequence of the UK now taking part I the EU elections is that Nigel Farage has had to stop presenting on LBC for the duration of the campaign. I don't think they've officially announced it (can't see anything online) but he's not in the schedules

Eddie Mair was discussing how he could fill the extra hour while he's 'covering for Nigel' yesterday.

I notice Jacob Rees Mog is doing his slot on Friday, although was he before? Though of course if there's a General Election he'll have to give that up too

We were also treated to a promo by Eddie at 1759 which was very much in the style of the usual incumbent. I hope it's a daily feature...
