Nice cockup on Sky News just before 1pm.

The newsreader went to an OB and said something like 'hopefully we can hear you now as we were having problems earlier' but then we kept losing vision!

Cut back to the newsreaders who starts going on about the sparkles(?). Those dots you see on satellite channels during the rain! Nice to see the guy up on his terminology!

Cheers, Asa

Well, I recorded and captured a mistake with Breakfast on News 24 this morning. We got the first two headlines, which was followed by about 5-10 seconds of the Breakfast headline bed (yes!!) with Chris Eakin then following and adlibbing slightly before him and Martine Dennis read the other two with a shot of the studio!

I've captued it, and I will send it to Asa (if he's interested) and hopefully someone will make a headline bed out of it!

Why don't you post the .wav clip up on this thread, and then the experts can change it!?

Oh well, you've only just insulted about 80 million people there.
Sky don't know what a word is... right, well then what have they been broadcasting for the past 12 years?
I was simply pointing out that like your friends at the BBC you show clear bias in everything you post, that is a very naughty thing to do, don't you agree?
That was overall a bit of a silly statement to make wasn't it? Looking back you probably feel quite silly now.
That's ok because I'm going to give you the opportunity to apologise to me, because I'm such a fair guy.

Martin, if you want to act like a silly little boy then that is how I will treat you.

To Chesirec,

Oh and just so you know... it is generally accepted that you use a ' sign not a ` sign as an apostrophe.


I could have used ITN or CNN or some other channel in my example .Okay shoot me I mentioned Sky News.

You claim that I show a bias towards the BBC, and yes you are right about that but what I don't do is shoot down everyone else's opinion that is in some way contrary to what I think. Every time someone even mentions Sky News in a bad way then you go completely over the top to prove a point which most of the time is a load of complete rubbish.

 If I was as narrow-minded as you then I could criticise every message you post but I don`t. (notice I used the correct symbol this time!!!) And when it comes to correcting my punctuation you really are clutching at straws either that or you want to try out the Spell Check on your new word processor.

The first time I posted a message in this thread it was to make Daniel feel more welcome
so it was nothing to do with you, Cheshirec nor was I attacking Sky News in any way.

Anything else you have to say to me email me or message me but dont post it here waisting peoples time.

Lastly I would like to appologise to everyone (excluding Chesirec) for having to put up with this
