The New Pope

Eh?

Someone at five news should be buying lots of lottery tickets. They came on air in time for the Pope to be announced and then came back from an ad break just in time to hear the first words spoken by the new Pope. They also have a pre-prepared package by Colin Brazier.

Shouldn't BBC1 and ITV break the news? I can understand BBC1 not covering it as its already on BBC2 but ITV have no excuses ...

So what's his health like? Is it good or should I keep hold of the recent editorial guidelines to save me printing them out again?

The ITV News Channel has just gone off Freeview again in the Central region. They do have there timing.

It hasn't here - but some how i've lost BBC Two and dont have any sound on ITV1

No point in trying to get a a sunbed in the Vatican this summer then

ITV1 sticking to regional news (in Scotland anyway).

North East Tonight (ITV1) on air and it's just like a normal programme, not a single mention of the new Pope.

Scotland Today had it as the top headline.

Well done BBC. The coverage is excellent. The Six o'clock news on BBC 1 and News 24 on BBC 2 at the same time.

Just watching the six, and as they panned round the crowd, some woman couldn't stop shouting 'OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD!!!' - I mean, what a thing to say!
