Continuous coverage of the ship crash is starting to get boring, watching a barely visible (night) view of a still ship gets quite annoying after a while...


Then change channel. Sky News is doing its job. And this story is very interesting as to why and how it occurred in the first place. I have been watching several times a day and its still a developing story of great interest.

You're right, but nothing significant has been happening, they don't need to show pictures/live video of the ship every hour, only when something actually happens, which is pretty much one or twice every 24 hours, compared to the many hours of air time that its receiving...


But this is still a major news story, with passengers still missing and the captain being placed under house arrest. Divers are still working on the ship and it's a developing news story, with lots of questions still to be answered.

People still want to be updated on the situation, and as a 24-hour news channel Sky provides that service. If you don't like the news being mentioned, and live images being shown of the scene, then don't watch a rolling news channel. Because that's what they do.

HMM, something must have been deleted here. My posts are missing as well, although I canīt see a reason for doing that. I just posted that the ToTH sequence with Mark on Friday, was 1 minute and 22 seconds.

Proving my point of a lengthy TOTH ?

If you are not already a member of Metropol247, join that and then go to the upload service (there is a link to it everytime you reply to a message on TV Forum). When the file has been uploaded, right click on the link and copy the URL. Then paste the URL here with [image] before it and [/image] after it.

Don't worry if you are not a fan of Metropol. You will just be using their bandwidth and resources - taking the buggers down from the inside.

The sky news special programmes really need to be longer, possibly an extra half hour or maybe make it a 2 hour programme. Everything is just too rushed and not everyone is getting their point across.

Charlotte Hawkins has been using a white ipad this week instead of the usual laptop, I'm asuming its her own as the Sky News 1 is black l


It seems the black iPad has been sent to Westminster, The white 1 I've seen used on the press preview over the last week and Sarah Jane Mee was using it the other day on sunrise

Boulton & Co started differently today with them both sat at the desk, As soon as they played the Boulton and Co sting we could see Sarah behind in the newsroom whilst we stayed with Adam in the studio

New thing for sky news to show the presenters blog?
