In the East, there was no balloon, no titles, just a direct link to Susie live at the largest American community (airbase) in the UK. It was very well done. Just contained reaction from community members and the defense correspondent described what might be happened inside the base. Then, she said 'Now back to London' and it just went the the news 24 studio. I was quite impressed.

Newsroom South East and South Today ran titles and then straight to the newsreader. NSE reported of panic in The City of London and the financial districts that it could happen in places such as Canary Wharf. From what I could see ST was reporting about Sites of Specific Scientific Interest - completely unrelated.

South East Today had no titles (either in or out) with Laurie in the 3.25pm bulletin studio (open plan with the newsroom in the background)

On Look North..

It started with the short opening titles, and then 'Good Evening, welcome to Look North, I'm Christa Ackroyd'

There were a couple of stories, the weather from Paul, obviously without any banter

And then straight into News 24, without any link.

Asa what does the SE Today 3.25 studio look like?

Any pictures?

UK Today (on Sky Digital)

Note that as Huw signed off, before they cut to image of New York, it was the close shot of him with the '6' sidebar - not the angled shot.

Camera for UK Today must have been rotated during this time.

Cut straight from closing shot (image of NY with[ B ][ B ][ C ]NEWS superimposed) to UK Today titles - but first few seconds were missing.

Cut straight from end of UK Today's usual closing sequence to resumption of 'News 24 report'

After the end of the 6 here in the Midlands, the normal (long) opening titles to Midlands Today played and Nick Owen did the local news. Nick just basically said thats it for now but with no link into News 24, just came on and Jane and Gavin welcomed viewers.
