The ITV News channel have had Political Correspondants Angus Walker and Nick Robinson on the phone, various ex-communications directors, other people liked with the story and Mark Austin has just conducted a live interview with John Prescott. They have also used clips from the Tonight programme where Lauren Taylor (Who is also in the studio) followed him for a few months.
Chris Rogers is excellent at dealing with breaking news, despite lots of reports coming in he manages to stay calm and formal.
I was flicking about on the TV, after having heard the news, and I caught the endcap of an ITN bulletin on Channel 4. I don't think there was a bulletin scheduled for mid-afternoon, so were they the first terrestrial channel to break the news? I haven't seen anything on the BBC or ITV, unless I've missed a news report?

ITV and the BBC have just had their usual afternoon bulletins.
ITV1 has a news summary at 3pm, and BBC One at 3.20 anyway, so I don't suppose theyre would be any point in halting the schedule for news that can be relayed in a few minutes time anyway.
Mind you, ITV and the BBC didn't mind when they had news specials 3 days in a row for the missing internet girl/boy/thing, and for the death of David Kelly, but that was in the morning, and the programmes are rubbish then anyway.
