BBC News Channel have broken into a discussion about the Autumn Statement on the 9 o'clock News to simulcast BBC World News.

EDIT: So have BBC One, but ITV stay with Z-listers in the jungle. C4 haven't done anything, but C5 have a scheduled update due now.

Mrs Brown's Boys dropped at 2148 on BBC One for the NC simulcast.

Looks like BBC One have left Mrs Brown's Boys for the same

EDIT: Just watched back on iPlayer, mix through black into the Kites ident "Now on BBC One we interrupt Mrs Brown's Boys to join President Zuma for a statement"

The Z Jungle will end but no 'Coming up' aired tonight with flooding I was expecting it

At the end of the Jungle Julie was sat down with over the shoulder graphic of Mandela & 'Breaking News' strap for a short coming up sting

Social media is buzzing about the dropping of MBB. Some feel the announcement should have been made on BBC One at 2200.

Not a good thing to do when it comes to breaking news, almost everyone who saw that ITV promo will just turn over rather than wait 3 minutes for the news

It was a repeat though, not a new episode. I don't really see the harm (it'll be on at least 700 more times in the coming year)

Channel 4 have announced the death after Getting Rich in the Recession.

Probably the same people who complained about the programmes that were dropped when he was released from prison

Anyone record BBC's Newsflash? i was watching good old Z Listers
