ITV falls off air

Just been watching This Morning and when they went to break,it was a still - shot for about a minute....

They then eventually got to break after VT Timer.....

Then went to the ITN Newsroom with the Floor Manager saying 30 seconds to air!!

lol

You would all probaly know more than me technically!!

How exactly did it "fall of the air"??

The TV was suspended from the ceiling and the rope snapped - hence ITV fell from the air

ha ha....I don't know that much about the technical side of things!!

I don't know how you would describe it....but they were'nt doing too well today!

It was more of a temporary fault. A full breakdown would be when it cuts out, there's nothing on screen, and eventually, an apology slide would appear.

Anyway, here in the Granada region, we, too stayed on the This Morning sting for a while, before we had a network slide. The announcer ran down this evening's schedule. Then, we had adverts as normal, before crashing into the news, with Nicholas Owen mid-sentence.
