Do you all remember talking a while back (before the election) that News 24 was going to launch an interactive tv service? Any news on this? I had thought that you all were saying that it would launch during the election, but i was obviously mistaken. And what is it going to be called?

I have no idea when it is going to launch and more to the point whether it will have the video streaming like Sky does, as no-one else anywhere has this.
Sky have bought extra bandwidth, presumably to counter any sort of threat.

No idea when it will launch, wait for official annoucements.

I think its still in development. There was interactive coverage of the election on Sky and BBC. This was Sky News Active and BBC Digital Teletext.

It's in development - I know the staff are being recruited. It's going to be months rather than weeks though.

I think Broadcast reported it for the Autumn, rather than the election, which would tie in with what Nicky was saying.

Cheers, Asa
