London bombings - TV news coverage

Yep, Five's guides say that.

It looks like

5.30 Five News
6.00 Home & Away*
6.30 Family Affairs
7.00 Five News (Extended)

*It is quite possible that the 5.30pm is extended to 40 minutes. Home & Away can be chopped down to just 22 minutes when the ad breaks are taken out.

Incidentally, the lunchtime showings of H&A and FA, encore screenings of last night's eps, are now not being shown.

The Forums on www.backtothebay.net have got the episode dropped by Five, or for dialup users an extended video summary of the dropped episode so that viewers are bought up to speed.

BBC World have just opted out of the News 24 feed, for possibly the first time since the News Specials began. David Jessel presenting. He's just said they'll get some global reaction to the bombings.

Channel 4's Richard and Judy are currently doing their journalistic review of the tragedy.

BBC News 24 showed a brief bit of amateur footage showing the blood-splattered building next to where the bus exploded. It was pretty gory. Isn't this the kind of imagery their time delay was supposed to root out?

All wearing black suits aswell.

Newsnight special with Jeremy Paxman on BBC One at 8pm

What's happened to all the female presenters on the BBC? We've only had Sophie Raworth (which was a surprise). I thought we would have the usual presenter line-ups. If Matthew Amroliwala joined Philip Hayton at 10.21 what time did he leave and was he replaced by Jon or by Huw?
Also what ident was used into the announcement for 'continuing coverage for the rest of the news)?

BBC One? This must be the first time Newsnight's been on BBC One in it's history, I think.

ITV News Special from 9pm

Do Sky have Anna Botting, Martin Stanford and Julie Etchingham all presenting from the Sky Centre?

Also, should we be expecting JT at King's Cross for Live at Five?

Chris Eakin is out in Talistock (?) Square

Jonathan Wills is on location now.
