A slogan of a radio station on-screen throughout the broadcast? Yep, probably. Unless of course 105.8FM is owned by the same folks as UTV?

Yes, it is - hence U105.8

What a nightmare. Security breached again, but as stated, they can only go so far with detection etc without invading people's privacy.

My family have been glued to the news (Sky) all day - we're supposed to be flying out tomorrow.

I thought that U105 one was a bit cheeky, considering it's a commercial station, but still up to the minute on u.tv if you can find it.

Meanwhile Newsline seem to have the ability to take mobile phone pics and video and are asking for anyone to send in stuff at any available opportunity! Not bad considering two major stories in two days you could use it for.

CNNI's four-way coverage on Your World Today is excellent. Fast moving. Accurate. Faultless.

Let's hope the security services have nailed the lot of them now. Hope you have a safe flight and nice holiday.

I watched some of the ITV News special this morning and it struck me how seamless Alastair is at things like this. He really is an asset to ITV News.

Interesting point about UTV - are they allowed to publicise their radio station quite so blatantly during a news bulletin? I can't see how anyone would have a major objection to it - the BBC do it all the time - although I thought the regulations were different for ITV.

Also, if that's the case then if SMG still owned the Evening Times would they be allowed to slap the masthead at the top corner of the screen throughout Scotland Today?

Huw live from Heathrow as usual faultless, authorative and fast-paced. Correspondents/reporters I think have also been of immense standard today and all including the use of regional reporters i.e. Reporting Scotlands Glenn Campbell at Birmingham Airport.

Jane Hill and Julian Worricker I thought dealt with the incoming breaking news with great skill and again kept developments and interviews fast-paced: they need to be paired up on a more permanent basis.

But surely UTV have the argument that their sister Radio station is of direct benefit to viewers to keep abreast of developments should they leave the house?
