Good look to him though, GMTV is turning me off more and more since he has gone, that Ben Shepered has no idea at all.

I wonder if we will see any other big-name poaches from ITN or BBC News, I remember reading an interview with IIRC Nick Pollard who said there would be some poaches from other broadcasters, but I wonder if Eamonn will be the only one they actually poach?

Well if the papers are to be believed then it's a 2 million pound deal for Eamonn which is not bad - sure others may be tempted with that sort of cash.

2 million?

Is this not about how much it cost them to launch the whole of Sky News Ireland?

Eammon Holmes Vs. Sky News Ireland.

Hmm.

I guess only time will tell if it works out, but I expect he'll be gone in a couple of years.

Don't be so rude. if you want them to say something, be nice.

My original post was rude, I then softened it a bit. I just don't like being teased.

During THE football yesterday, I flicked over to Sky News to see if anything was happening in the world.

Who decided to stick up a "BREAKING NEWS- LIVERPOOL MATCH GOES TO EXTRA TIME" strap? (this later became BREAKING NEWS- LIVERPOOL MATCH GOES TO PENALTIES).

They carried on with the other news behind the rather large strap.

Surely anyone with the intelligence of an amoeba can realise these things:

1. If you're interested in the football- you're either watching it or have now been prompted to switch channels over to ITV. i.e. decrease Sky News audience

2. If you're not interested in football you've got half (OK, a bit less) of your screen covered up with the strap. i.e. pissing off the viewers you've got left.

All in all, not a good strategy for winnning or holding viewers.
