Is it just me or is the N24 LIVE Aston not there? I saw it was missing after the election, and wasn't there again today - Does anyone know? Has this been covered already? Did it accidentally get deleted after the election?

i have seen the live aston today around 17.00 time. i dont think it was used during the execution today because i think that was a BBC world feed or i got that impression.

Yes you are right, it was a BBC World feed, the best way to tell for sure if it's a World feed, is by noticing the placement of the purple aston, it's not quite level with the clock!

thats why i thought it was world but didnt know for sure. also the way they link to the reporter is generic e.g. no proper introduction.

It was the same on World, and when they went to the reporter, you could hear the News 24 presenter in the background, as his introduction took a bit longer,

The LIVE was left off the McVeigh execution on purpose as it was seen to be be insensitive.  It was a News24/World co-presentation, in that it was agreed that the correspondent in Oklahoma would begin at exactly 1min past the hour, both World and N24 would hand to her and off she'd go.  World provided the astons for both channels
