Michael Jackson trial verdict coverage

Press Gazette has details of ITV News's virtual Neverland and virtual courtroom.

And Five News has a deal with Court TV.

God, i hope they're not going to fill the 6.30 programme with anything too tacky looking.

They've already used the virtual Neverland.

I saw that, it looked ok. But I hope when the trial starts, we're not going to be bombarded with tacky, pointless reports.

Anyone have any grabs or captures of ITN's Neverland?

Seems they've hired their look-a-like :

Sky News really don't seem to know what they're getting themselves into.

This is being produced primarily for a US Entertainment channel- the focus will not be on the minor news aspect of this story.

They're either going to have to seriously cut the E! product (in which case why reconstruct it) or drop it from Sky News for it to continue on Sky One (where it will fit the channel brief perfectly)

Sky News has now issued a press release which includes details of when the reconstructions will air:

BREAKING NEWS

SKY: Michael Jackson has been taken to hospital with a 'serious illness'.

Coverage taking place on Sky News and BBC News 24.

Didn't know where to put this but apparently Michael Jackson is "very, very ill".
BBC News article here.
Sky News article here.

Presumably tried to kill himself.

Sounds serious if they are saying that he is "very, very ill". They would never say that if it was something small.
