Well my take is that Adam should not have acted like he did, he should just simply put across the to the viewer that Cons got the most seats (which everyone knows) and leave it at that. Rise above personal comments, although I have to say the media wanted all this, it's their own fault for creating this hung parliament. Adam knows the rules of a hung parliament and knows that constitutionaly i think the incumbent PM can have a first go at creating a government, but chose not too and let Cameron / Clegg have first talks.
I wonder what their external lines situation is like? BT is still SD only as far as I know, there are alternatives that will provide HD but they aren't as universal as a BT line.
BT can now provide HD local ends (which also do SD and ASI).
This is all good for Sky News, it's all about ratings, this and the Burley stuff will be good for giving their presenters the profile they want them to have and people will want to watch.
Errrr... No. For a news broadcaster it's all about editorial integrity, something that Sky is currently rather lacking.
It should be the other way around. Think of all the great political interviewers that this country's produced - Paxman, Humphrey's, Frost; you don't see any of them getting that aggressive and antagonistic towards a guest. It should be the interviewee who's raising his voice, sweating and going red, not the presenter!
Ummm, Paxo lost it rather with George Galloway during the 2005 election programme ISTR ?

Certainly everyone will be watching today to see if Boulton has a heart attack on air
Not fair to call Sky's staff 'Burley'... some are quite skinny
Adam Boulton's live verbal donnybrook with Alastair Campbell was watched by more than 350,000 viewers on Sky News yesterday, another day of extraordinary Westminster drama.
Sky News averaged 366,000 viewers during the half hour from 5.30pm – the channel's best audience of the day. Overall, Live at Five had 310,000 viewers across two hours from 5pm.
There seems to be a problem with one of the cameras where Dermot Murnaghan is. At least twice now he has asked a question to a guest but the camera has remained on him. Maybe they are having trouble switching to the other camera. In this most recent case, Murnaghan's camera zoomed out so you could see Murnaghan and the back of the guests head, then they switched to the Sky Copter for a few seconds and now it seems fine again, they are switching between the two cameras on the ground.
