Timeline of Sky News coverage

Ridiculous for News 24 and Breakfast to go their separate ways though it Breakfast was going with the rolling coverage too. They should have given the Breakfast staff the morning off and just gone with News 24.

[quote="RegionalVariation"]I appreciate the seriousness of this unfolding incident required the news special at 11.30 on BBC1, but surely a brief, perhaps 3 second, courteous acknowledgement of the scheduled show being pulled could have been arranged. To not mention in any way the removal of a programme from the schedule was discourteous to those who were looking forward to the show.

If a news special of this type replaced a prime time show at short notice there would have been an accompanying announcement. Those who form the smaller daytime audience deserved a similar display of decent manners.

Again scrapping the bottom of the barrel. What happened Julie?

OH GREAT! I was going to London tommorow and this has put me right off. I was going to The O2 (ie: Millennium Dome) and now I can't, oh well. At least noone was hurt.

What's stopping you? I'm off to London tonight, can't say it's worrying me too much about it at all.

Why not?
I'm going to London tomorrow evening.

I haven't seen the coverage unfortunately but at 7:30 I think they reported on Breakfast and I was very sure it was going to be a big story. Don't agree that just as I turn N24 on the breaking news tag is there - to someone who hasn't known about it it looks like the event has just happened!

Al Jazeera were showing it around 9am.

Mark Austin presenting the News at 6:30pm from Haymarket..

Alastair and Katie also presented from Haymarket on London Tonight.

GMTV were the first with moving footage from the scene this morning at just after 8am.

The Haymarket's nowhere near Greenwich!

C4 had Alex Thomson at the scene & various reporters out in central London. Jon Snow in the studio.
