UK Prime Minister | TV News Coverage

ITV were lucky that they had the live coronavirus Q&A on air at the time although I question their judgement in continuing with the rest of the programme including a celeb talking about his lockdown experience as a lighthearted end to the show each week

MSNBC and CNN have been covering this since the news broke and Fox News just did a flash and that was all.

Very quick reaction from the BBC there, excellent work under the challenging conditions.

ITV covered it almost straight away about 15 mins ago as they were in their Coronavirus Q&A programme. I didn’t think that would have been live, but it obviously is.

The BBC are reporting that Johnson asked Raab to deputise where necessary.

As the Eastenders credits played out without any trails/credit squeeze over them I had an ominous feeling there was some sort of announcement coming up imminently

C4 News were still on air so presumably they covered it too. They have got to be very careful though how they cover this and not turn it into a story based around one man, however important he is, when so many are suffering.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm not a Tory but am hoping he pulls as well as all those who are fighting this ******* of a disease.

Indeed. We are all in this together

Felt very eery watching Huw Edwards deliver the news flash on BBC One, when he himself was in hospital only last week.

Whatever our political colours and leanings, I think we all wish him the best. Although being a conservative it's easier for me to say that. His fiancée must be in absolute pieces, especially as she can't be with him.
