Christmas Tree Watch 2008

I notice GMTV have got their trees up - I'm guessing the BBC can't be far behind.

Sky Sports News have had theirs up since Saturday.

Granada News have theirs up on their GMTV bulletin, I think last year they were only up on the GMTV bulletins for the first couple of weeks of December.

I wonder how the BBC News channel will decorate? Will they put a tree up in N6, or will the graphics people add one to the News room back drop.

Midlands Today have had theirs up since the start of the week!

Central West have their usual tree up!

Look North (Leeds) and Calendar have had their trees up since Monday too.

At BBC News, Breakfast are usually first to get the tree up aren't they?

I doubt they'll do anything really. Don't forget, in N8 the tree rarely went up pre-Christmas eve, and there was nothing for N6.

Because it was Christmas Eve before Breakfast were done with it in N6/TC7

I remember a few years ago someone complained that GMTV had their decorations up before BBC Breakfast, so Breakfast put their tree up earlier than usual - no sign of it yet though!

In fact, here is a Daily Mail article on it!

Simon and Carrie were on the other morning watching Downing st. put their tree up and Simon said "We'll have one in here soon" or words to that effect.

Stay tuned for Monday morning at 6.

Gotta love the Daily Mail readers' comments:


Whereas of course, if the BBC spent your vastly inflated Licence Fee on new decorations every year, the Mail would be full of complaints wailing how much is wasted every year on new decorations when last year's were perfectly good enough.

John, from Clacton, I've never met you before, but I can safely say you are a crainless bunt.
