i think that the BBC were first to break it as they were talking to someone at BBC News Online when there was a tannoy anouncement i then turned to Sky and about a second after they had their woosh thing!
it may have been only a few seconds in it but the beeb were first plus within 10 mins they had a somwhat heated interview with John Prescott!
Sorry Dave but I was watching ITV NC and they def broke it before Sky, and who watches 24 anyhow, so dull. Now ITV have Nick Owen at Downing Street and Bill Neely in the Studio. They really do have their act together. Also ITV are showing other news now, phew !
Caught ITVNC - nice to see Nick there from No. 10 at 5pm, Sky with Adam there too for a little while and N24 stuck in the studio and happened to miss his walk out of Number 10 and then say "the papers will no doubt have that as his last picture of him leaving No. 10" knowing full well he will leave that door several more times yet!
Quite a clat behind the camera as stuff crashed to the ground as the ITN camera followed Cambell's walk out!
Didn't see the point in Trevor talking to Nick there - the other guy he interviewed a few minutes before (ITV political correspondent I think) said the same and summed it up well.
And Bill's "Thanks very Nick...thanks very much Nick" tongue-tied first sentence at 5pm.
now chris, i know you have a certain bias, but come on. you get more action looking at a scarecrow whilst high on tea leaves than you do in an entire 24 hour broadcast of news 24.
i hope when the charter comes up for renewal, this piece of unneccessary baggage is dumped.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrr - totally missing the point there, Terry.
He said he didn't watch 24 hour news, despite knowing the the ITVNC broke the Campbell story first.
Please do pay attention, and not bring any kind of supposed bias I might have into this. Who I work for was neither here nor there with that comment.
Surely this whole matter proves the point that even if the BBC alongst with the other news organizations only report on matters permitted by the Establishment, at least what they do report is factually correct.
After all is it not a BBC reporter who started this whole sordid affair despite his questionable patriotism and failure to support the Dear Leader in the hour of crisis, when the nation was under threat of missile attack from Irak (with only 45 minutes warning)?
Incidentally, does the nation's military stand firmly behind the Dear Leader, should things get rather more awkward for him, but now highly unlikely that they will become more difficult, now that the sacrificial lambs are being offered up on the altar of public appeasement?
ITV's coverage clearly outstripped Sky and BBC. The only one thing that went at all wrong with ITV's coverage which was awesome with Nick, Bill, Trevor, Other Nick, Chris and Angus was Chris Rogers was sitting at the desk with Angus Walker on the big screen and he said ''Well live now to our reporter, Emma Kennedy, Emma, what do... Oh, Angus Walker, sorry''
