London bombings - TV news coverage

I really don't see much future for the ITV News Channel at this rate. Off air on Freeview in my region for the best part of half a year then returns still in 4:3 format with prerecorded bulletins!

close your eyes, imagine a breaking news aston with "BIRMINGHAM EVACUATION" on, et voila

Thanks for that Tv america and commenting on the ITV News comment i agree they have a brillant studio to use but they don't I think they could extend the studio in some way there was mocks some time ago of a extension on the studio and they looked brillant....ITV News has some things but dont use much of them.

That and the rigidity with which they stick to scheduled ad breaks...

100.7 Heart FM is carrying news from LBC in London.

Are any American news channels mentioning this?

The CBS evening news, which is currently on Sky News had a tiny piece with pictures.

Don't know about the channels, but I doubt it. There is nothing on the CNN, Fox News or ABC News websites

Fox News were running with it earlier including showing an item from Sky News which seemed to have all the colour washed out of it

CNN mentioned it at the start of a CNN US "ask the reporters" type programme, which featured Richard Quest and Christianne Amanpour live at King's Cross being interupted by a slightly worse for wear fellow going on about Iraq.

You could smell the gallery's fear all the way from Atlanta!

Glad to see the excellent IRN duty editor, Chris Pepper reporting from Birmingham.

Sky have definately had the best coverage tonight, Hazel Westwood is still doing live updates. ITV have been, as discussed, pathetic, and the BBC must be suffering from having their staff evacuated. Normally they would have huge resources for a regional story, but all they seem to have is some grainy images and a reporter on the phone.
