No, Fox News hasn't been on Sky since 2017, when Murdoch was trying to takeover Sky. Although, if the big orange idiot really wanted to watch his favourite "news" channel while he's here, there are of course (unofficial) ways and means of doing so via the internet. That being said, the only computing device his tiny hands can handle is the iPhone he posts his deranged Twitterings from!

I’m sure the WHCA provide him a feed if wanted. If I’m not mistaken they do it with local channels and the main networks. I think there’s also a IP like system for ambassadors.

The Trump interview was the only thing covered this morning, other than D-Day commemorations and a Interview with Andrea Leadsom. No other news headlines, or even a summary throughout the whole two and a half hour show..

To be fair, if you look at the BBC News homepage:

... and if you'll scroll down the only other main story is the Tory leadership election.

More remarkable today, they had a clock counting down to the 7am premiere of the interview and they managed to keep to time.

No it doesn't, Sky ditched it a couple of years ago as it wasn't financially viable:

Of course now Sky isn't connected to Fox News so I'd have thought it unlikely to return

It doesn't mean he couldn't watch it though. The can fly helicopters and a convoy of armoured cars across the Atlantic, I'm sure it's not beyond their abilities to pull a few strings and get it streamed into the Ambassadors house for a few days


It's on Intelsat 35e at 34.5°W

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can receive from that dish in this country?

Studio relit in American colours, that countdown graphic to the full interview is bizarre.

Whilst it’s undoubtedly a good scoop, I highly doubt most of GMB’s audience really care that much. Surprising to see the full interview get a prime time slot too, the previous few have tended to do quite poorly (although it is only a repeat being replaced).

Didn't the previous interviews get a late night slot rather than prime time?

They did (one after News at Ten and another on Sunday at 10pm IIRC). I suspect the same would've happened today if Peston wasn't on after NaT tonight.
