I know its not TV, but BBC News website has been adapted for this big story. The only other time I remember them doing this was when Cameron won election.

Have been watching Maleen on World, she really is not the one suitable for developing news. She keeps umming and arrring... Really poor from her

In stark contrast to our national channels, they have gone all out on this. They had a couple of short updates while the football was still on, then went on for two hours at about midnight.

They then scrapped the usual children's programming this morning from about 7.00am and have been rolling since. The extra edition is just ending now.

World still simulcasting with Brakfast and said good morning to the world viewers. Never seen World simulcasting any domestic programmes before - perhaps it has something to do with the cuts?

BBC One are to pull away from coverage at 9:15 for Saturday Kitchen, very poor decision with that.

More to do with having one single news outlet communicating the news.

There have regularly been BBC news simulcasts between the domestic news channel and BBC World News.

This is no different, It just so happens that between 06:00 and 10:00 the News Channel comes from Manchester, broadcasting as Breakfast.

I'm pretty sure that when the Charlie Hebdo attacks took place Breakfast was on both channels, just as this morning, broadcasting as a BBC News Special.

Very clunky junction on BBC One pulling out of the Breakfast special to Saturday Kitchen. Naga Munchetty was cut off mid-sentence after the pause in which the break from BBC One was meant to happen.

Charlie Stayt fluffed his lines earlier. Most of the Breakfast special relied on repeated interviews through the morning and the same footage.

People cooking now on BBC One. Oh well.

Not a slick operation.
