NBC have branded part of their Today programme as a 'NBC News Special Report', and MSNBC are continuing with their coverage, saying 'AL-Qaeda Plot Busted'. It looks like they are taking APTN feeds - they used to take ITN feeds as well with ITV coverage.

Nice graphics on the Lunchtime News - and good use of presenters too!
A regular moan of mine, but exactly what events warrant bringing in the main presenters on BBC1!
As I've always said, events like this should be lead by the BBC1 team, in the BBC1 studio, with that programme simulcast on News 24. All simulcasting News 24 does is show how bad it's graphics actually are!

News 24 is more geared up for breaking news, i.e. they are located within the newsroom. Within the news 24 studio the viewer gets the feeling of breaking news, something which will not happen in the main bbc 1 studio. Plus it is easier for the newsroom to communicate with the studio, as the gallery is also located behind the studio in the newsroom.

Press release on BBC Coverage just released...
Quote:
BBC News is keeping viewers updated on the unfolding development of the airport Terror Plot via simulcasts of the latest developments on BBC One and BBC News 24.
The story broke first on Radio Five Live at 05.40am when business producer Joe Lynam, who was at Gatwick, tipped off the BBC to the story.
From 6.00 BBC Breakfast and BBC News 24 rolled continuously on the story, running the first ariel pictures of the locations of homes raided by police and as well as the first pictures of the developing chaos at UK airports.
BBC’s Fiona Bruce, on her way to catch a flight at Heathrow was unable to get into the airport. She broadcast live for BBC Breakfast, describing terminal 1 as at a ‘complete standstill’ and conditions as ‘unpleasant’ but said that the mood amongst delayed passengers was ‘calm and good-tempered’.
From 10.15, BBC One began simulcasting live coverage of the story from BBC News 24, presented by Julian Worricker and Jane Hill and rolled until after lunchtime on BBC One.
The BBC have teams deployed at all major British airports and other key locations including Downing Street, to cover the story. Daniel Sandford and Rory MacClean broadcast across all BBC networks, including Today, Breakfast, News 24, Five Live, and the Asian Network.
Throughout the day – special correspondents Andy Tighe, Home Affairs, and Gordon Corera, Security, have been providing analysis behind the story and reporting on the key live briefings by the authorities. Reporters at airports included Richard Lister – Heathrow, Adam Flemying – Stanstead, Glenn Campbell – Birmingham, Lara Gordon – Glasgow. Other reporters include Jake Lynch and Andrew Burroughs and in Washington reporting on the US reaction John Kaye.
Tonight Huw Edwards presents live from London Heathrow on the story for the 5 O’Clock News on News 24, and the 6 O’Clock and Ten O’Clock News on BBC One.
N24 special correspondent Philipa Thomas will be presenting from Heathrow this afternoon and this evening. Chris Eakin will tonight draw together the main developments from around the UK and the US with live coverage at airports from Glasgow to Gatwick to New York's JFK.
The terror plot story has generated a huge response from BBC viewers and website users. The top story ‘Airlines Terror Plot’ disrupted generated over 3.2million page views by lunchtime. On average, a top story generates around .5 million page views.
Web users have also been turning to the BBC’s popular ‘Have Your Say’ pages of the BBC News website – which has received nearly 2000 comments so far, with 500 posted and another 1,300 waiting to be published.
More than 1000 emails have been received from users submitting stories about their experiences at airports up and down the country – which has fed into the rest of BBC News output.

I know we've covered the News 24 argument a million times before, and I've no doubt News 24 are up to the job!
I just think though it in many ways makes the event look less important than it is by just simulcasting the channel.
The real problem though is the look of News 24 not matching the look of the BBC1 bulletins. I doubt it would be an issue for me personally if there was more consistancy - and if the senior presenters were bought in for the big events.

The EPG update should be the first thing on the mind of the person whose job it is to update it. My Sky+ box didn't record Breakfast this morning, it did record the mid-morning news coverage on BBC1 under the Breakfast name though. Looks like someone (or something as its probably automated) did update the EPG but messed it up somehow.

Interesting to note as regards the SKY Epg, that Breakfast ran until 1pm!
(Before some smart a***e points it out, I know the Epg update is likely to be the last thing on some people's mind!)
