Julie doing very well considering the circumstances (also notice the lack of on-screen graphics during live links). And those were the tweaked summary titles that I was talking about in the ITV News thread - we'll be seeing these ones used to close the programme as well.
Does anybody know what STV told their viewers at ten
o'clock?
Don't know what they said at ten but on every junction afterwards (and there were a lot of them) they just said they were running later than billed, and now here's *insert name of randomly picked programme here*. Altough I'm sure they said Ali G would be on at half 11, which it presumably won't be now.
On the question on whether the news is live, I suspect is would be. I would guess the regions would be given updates on when the news is due to go on air. People who used to work in continuity will know better than me, but is this a red phone situation?
Think Julie did very well given the circumstances - I'm guessing there would be problems communicating how long she had to go near the end, hence the occasional stumble.
Oh ok - you'd think big building like Gray's Inn Road would have back up generators?
They probably do... doesn't mean they'll work and provide backup when you really need them though... as many other broadcasters have discovered in the past
She looked very relieved at the end, you can imagine all of the crew at the temporary studio cheering as the end titles went on air! 10/10 from me under all the circumstances, some newsreaders would completely crumble in that situation.
