Why does it say DIE BART?




It is a Simpsons episode (the one with Sideshow Bob tries to kill Bart) Smile



So it's just a coincidence...

According to the EPG, there will be no TWT tomorrow morning - just BBC News with Heather McCarthy. This is what BBC Online say as well:

20:00 BBC News
Rolling news from the BBC News 24 newsroom bringing you the latest developments on the situation in Afghanistan and around the world. W/S.

00:00 BBC News
Rolling news from the BBC News 24 newsroom bringing you the latest developments on the situation in Afghanistan and around the world. W/S.

Wow! 18 pages within a few hours! That was quick!

Anyway..... what are bbc world doing at the moment? I wish N24 had just joined them!

And I, too, will be taping TWT tomorrow morning - might even get up early to watch it Smile

Do you think N24 and BBC One will join up at 10 or stay separate?

Just by way of contrast to the talk of BBC and ITV going back to their schedules - albeit with added news updates - all the main stations here in Greece have continued non-stop with this breaking story since around 1945 EEST.

Once again ET1 and NET are broadcasting a joint programme whilst ET3, Alpha, Antenna, Mega, Star and Tempo are all running extended news.

Once again, CNN is the station of choice for most for the live pictures, though Sky News is also being used a lot by Tempo (and yes, those on-screen graphics are dreadful). BBC World has occasionally cropped up too. Al Jazira is also being shown a lot.

An addition to my previous comment -- as has been mentioned already by others on this thread -- it was quite noticeable how quickly all the main week-night news anchors were brought in to report on the story on the Greek channels.

The round-the-clock commercial-free coverage has re-emerged on the cable networks…got this MSNBC Primetime e-mail a little while ago:
MSNBC is committed to round-the-clock coverage of 'America Strikes Back,' the first wave of attacks against targets in Afghanistan. We'll be on the air 24 hours a day to bring you the very latest developments, with reporting from the White House to the Pentagon to the hot spots in Central Asia. Here is tonight's schedule:
