Strangely the news update ended whilst Alastair was still reading out the statement from Quincy Jones, wasn't mentioned if they'll be back at the next break (if so wouldn't it be slightly unnecessary?) or if that is all until 5:30.

On a slightly separate note, a lot of radio stations have broken into usual programming to play Michael Jackson songs and tributes. The Smooth radio network has a special tribute as well.

I wonder if WNA will broadcast as usual on the News Channel?


I've just switched over to BBC World and they have now broken away from the simulcast and are airing World News America. Matt Frei is in Islamabad and they're not covering Michael Jackson! What an odd editorial decision.


The first story was for Michael Jackson, and just like many are quite shocked that he has passed away Sad
