So to clarify, who's presenting each coverage? Given this is a concert as well as news - how is it going to play out?

Kay Burley presenting Sky News/HD coverage (on Arts as well?)
Huw Edwards for the BBC/HD?
MTV....?

(Apologies if this has already been clarified earlier in the thread)

I doubt if Huw will be there for the BBC, he did the ten last night-maybe Emily?

Media Guardian has details of who's hosting what this afternoon...

Is it actually being shown live on MTV UK?

The BBC News site says it will be on "NTV" which I assume is meant to say "MTV" - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8137700.stm

So, Sky at the moment are showing a split screen... on the left a helicopter shot of a building with nothing happening and on the right a stage with nothing happening.

And this is a 'News Alert' how?

Trevor Nelson fronting BBC2 coverage, so hopefully it won't be a simulcast of the News Channel, and hence should be graphics free.

I think it won't be... Rajesh Mirchandani is covering it for the news channel. Can't imagine Trevor Nelson hosting for the News Channel.

Nice one Burley.

"Lets talk about his life before we celebrate his death".

She's bloody awful.

Good old Kay, she just said:

"Lets remember his life as we celebrate his death"

Yup a factual error there as well - she's just described how he released 'Thriller', then WENT ON to release 'Off The Wall' and 'Bad', neither of which were as successful. 'Off The Wall' was three years before 'Thriller'.
