DOG and Ticker back now. News Active was working, but for the past couple of days it has gone. Not sure if it is permanent... Perhaps the service is getting an overhaul

Do we know who Sky News are sending to cover from S. Africa yet?

JT and Chris Skudder, I think.

For those asking, there are three helicopters as far as I know (BBC, Sky and ITN). They seem to take it turns, with a couple over Westminster at any one time.

Speaking of the font (a bit late?), I now found that the kind of font design is now common on the British television, and perhaps, everywhere in Britain.

And I'm expecting a free font in a kind of style, called something like "Britannia Modern"?

Sky's coverage a bit lacklustre in the the last hour, lots of ads, replaying of earlier interviews along with sport, business and other news updates. Would have thought on a day like this they would stick to rolling coverage from Westminster for all the floating viewers looking for info.

Kay just saying 'democracy at work' again. Adam pointed out to Kay that 'our friends' from the fair vote campaign had arrived at the cabinet office.

He had one a couple of hours ago when I was there but he seems to have got a louder one now!

Looked like some manual fast-forwarding of the Breaking News ticker... haven't seen that before.

Huge credit to Kay for keeping it together, I suspect they may present from Downing Street later now that events are moving at a pace.

I feel sorry for Kay, people are going over the top with this, it has become very ''cool'' to be hating on her. Rolling Eyes

Kay handled herself very well once again.

I agree its getting a bit petty at this stage, sure she is not perfect but some of the reaction has been completely over the top and undeserved. Like I say I doubt many other presenters would be able to hold the show together while a 'protest' relating to themselves takes place in the background.
