Andrew Wilson was live in Toulouse tonight. Think sky have over done it here a bit. Having both Mark Stone and Robert Nisbet seemed to be more than enough to cover the story, not sure if an OB presenter was required for this one.

Yes, plus Eamonn, Charlotte, a special guest and Sam Kiley with analysis from the studio. Most of the information is reaching Sky Centre before Andrew Wilson, and he doesn't speak French to speak to many witnesses...it's all becoming a bit like the Raoul Moat stand-off, this kind of "hawk-eye" coverage, with frequent ad breaks in between.

Tomorrow (Budget Day) will see a special edition of Jeff Randall Live at 9am followed by Boulton and Co at 10. Dermot will then present the main coverage from 11.


The Jeff Randall special and Boulton & Co haven't happened this morning due to the breaking news from France and the Judith Tebbutt release. So far its been rolling news with Charlotte Hawkins (9am) and Jayne Secker (10am).

Also, as Sky went to a break there, they showed a wide shot of the studio. Looked good with the breaking news newswall and guests in view

They're taking a bit too far with the amount of presenters / reporters in France, Tim Marshall in Paris. Andrew Wilson, Robert Nisbet & Mark Stone in Toulouse. With constant news wall presentations.

It's a classic 24-hour news channel story. Didn't seem like overkill to me.

Why on earth are they playing only ONE quatar weather sting all the day, instead of all the seven others?

I, along with every other person who has watched any amount of Sky News today, have neither noticed, nor do I care.

The country of Qatar likes annoying you, and has decided to limit its flag-carrying airline to one variation of sponsorship sting on Sky News.

30 seconds an hour. Big deal. I really don't get your problem.

It's not a big deal but I would simply like to comprehend why they are doing that.
