Poor week for ITV. Can't believe they're showing Jackpot 247 when such an event is unfolding - no wonder they struggle to get ITV News taken seriously.

France 24 doing a superb job - always rated Mark Owen when he was at Granada. Great interview with an eyewitness from the Bataclan just now.


Have to agree, huge News story even if it is this late and itv NEWS not on air even when normal programming has finished. Very poor.

Rubbish. ITV really are not equipped to be doing this sort of coverage during the day never mind at 1:30am. The only channels that are rolling are those that would have been rolling anyway.

That's pretty poor if ITN can't muster up resources to provide rolling coverage, they're a news agency and its 2015. It really should be standard practice to provide rolling coverage at any time on a moment's notice. The BBC and even Sky News manage to do so, as do many much smaller broadcasters globally.

I don't think it's a case of ITN not being able to muster up resources - more a case of ITV, wrongly or rightly, deciding it wasn't worth it. ITN is more than capable of providing open-ended news coverage at the drop of a hat if they are requested to do so.

Just a reminder for those who don't have France 24 English; a live stream is available via YouTube:

I'm French and I'm live in France. At the moment, TF1 and France 2 are in live special. BFM TV, I>Télé, LCI and France 24 (News Channels) are also in live. TV5 Monde broadcast France 2.

For me, it's shameful what ITV not on air this night. ITN is very well yet :/

Simulcast with Breakfast now. Messy graphics set
The time bug is still on screen. Normal lower-thirds and ticker are not present. (World)

The normal World News tucker is back now on World News. Is this one of the first times World has simulcast Breakfast?

Is it just me or was Naga's voice and video out of sync during the interview? It looked like the lips didn't match up.

EDIT: World just left breakfast simulcast

They're only on for the last 7 or 8 minutes of each half hour, though, mostly to cover when Breakfast is doing the UK weather.
