Robin Newsbit is in Chile where the trapped miners are expected to be rescued on Saturday. Expect continuing coverage for that. I think I saw Tim Wilcox there too for the BBC.

Burley is getting nuttier and nuttier. Anyone else see her Birmingham performance?

He's been there since last week. Presumably getting in early, making contacts, and getting a hotel room before the rest of the world turns up. Fun* fact: the BBC are using the same satellite as they use for their UK newsgathering, because it's got a conveniently large beam.

I saw her interviewing Rachel Johnson (Boris's sister). I don't know if there were comms difficulties - they kept on talking over each other - but it was pretty painful to watch.

* boring

Just to add, ITV sent Geraint Vincent to Chile.

How did that work take them three weeks?

It looks well quite plain. Is that going to be background for interviews?
...lets hope not!

Does look quite plain but I imagine that is not the background that will be seen on air, suspect the studio is to the right of the picture with the blue strip on the roof being visible on air.

That's probably so they can use the footage later as a promo for Sky News HD. Idea

Interestingly none of the promos or adverts on Sky are broadcast in HD, just the programmes.

Thought Andrew did a good job on Live at 5 earlier, impressive that it's in HD too.

The Daily Mail says Sky currently have 3 staff in Chile but that they will send 6 more later on, which seems unlikely.
