Miners Rescue - Chile

Interesting. With the single feed operation at the tunnel itself I'd assumed they would be able to enforce a media blackout, but I guess not.

And the first miner is out.

There we go, that is what we have all been waiting for. Sky News' miner counter ticks round from 0 to 1.

Is the initial rescuer still down there? So it's 33 people down there?

And now the medic's going down there so it's 34.

wow, I still can't get over Tim Wilcox's spanish.

BBC News getting in on the miner counter act

I notice up until 5mins ago Sky News Radio were simulcasting the main Sky News TV feed for radio stations but they've pulled it for some reason now.

Looks like I'm the only one here - covering it on the radio.

After AC360, CNN International has taken-over the coverage, simulcast on the Domestic channel, with Michael Holmes and Colleen McEdwards.

It seems that CNN International can also use the equipment in the new Atlanta studio.


EDIT: Can anybody tell us if BBC Breakfast in airing, or they are still showing the Rescue?

I don't know about Breakfast but our radio station is opting in and out of sky news radios continuous feed theyre providing of the tv channel.

Breakfast is on BBC One.

Continuing coverage with Matt and Tim on BBC News.

I wish they would cue in Tim Willcox properly at the TOTH, they're not accounding for the satellite delay so the titles play and theres at least 10seconds before Tim receives his cue (It wouldnt be so bad if the little underscore off the titles didnt abbruptly stop and should fade). The BBC are terrible at this sort of thing and it happens all too frequently with O/B's.
