I don't know if it's related to the bombs going of in London, which is terrible, but BBC World went of screen in Holland for at least 30 minutes.

BBC1 have N24, ITV1 have ITVNC and five have Sky (in 16:9 stamp screen)

Nothing on C4 but what do you expect.

IRN have just fired off the major story alarm. Bulletins from them - 5 mins top of the hour and 2 minutes at the bottom of the hour.

Serious.

Just been in the car - Radio One have toned down now, songs not the usual selection.

Jingles now just vocal and less Jo Whiley blubbering on.

My local station, Radio Kent, are now doing extended (8-9 min) news bulletins with updates every 15 minutes.
