Anyone got access to viewings figures for the 8-10pm slot? I am interested in the difference (if any) between Martin Stanford's show from a few weeks ago and the current 15 minute rolling news format.

No, Ofcom still has to settle that one (decision 28th April IIRC). So, knowing Ofcom, expect it to disappear on DTT around May...

No harm done Wink


All I did was press 'quote'. I can't be held responsible if these new-fangled, magic calculating machines put the wrong thing in the wrong place.


Please don't get arsey with me Bob.
I would be more careful when quoting in the future. Humans operate computers!


I wasn't being remotely arsey with you. I thought it was evidently clear from my response I was, in a light-hearted way, simply pointing out that I'd merely pressed the quote button and hadn't deliberately tried to misquote you or anyone else.

I understand plain text can remove nuance and subtly from what we're trying to say but I find it hard to see why you think I was being arsey.

As I said - no harm done - please be careful when quoting. Thanks

I got your attempt at light-hearted humour. Apparently, certain other members are a bit more sensitive. And f_cking stupid.

Do you think Sky News will say "and goodbye to our Virgin Media viewers" at 11:58 tonight?


I'd be very surprised if they didn't run an advert for how to join Sky especially for Virgin Media customers. VM would technically be powerless to even cut the feed prematurely, as the contract for transmission of the Sky channels runs right up to midnight, and not before.


The old Telewest network has been talking the standard Sky feed for since last weekend and we haven't had a switch advert since then.

Sky News forgot to put the static bar on top of the ticker and clock on the international feed!

That was my understanding as well. Let's hope it doesn't look like their current on-screen look although I have a feeling it might. Crying or Very sad

The black ticker is even blacker....

Seriously though, Sky News can't be happy that they have lost a potential 3 million viewers - esecially as they are also due to lose the freeview viewers in the summer (subject to Ofcom approval)
