Alagiah has just handed over to Bush addressing the US Nation.

I typed this when the story broke over here: Was watching MSNBC and the US has started bombing Kabul, Afghanistan (at least)…All of the US networks have special reports now -- CNN's been behind in reporting this (ironically)…have the UK networks covered anything?  Prez Bush is making a speech in 9 min.


All channels are obviously now taking the president's speech

I think HTV came in a bit late, and faded black, then to ITN and then black again when an HTV announcer introduced the bulletin.

Blimey! That caught me off guard. Fancy doing it on a Sunday.

BBC Two just show a blue strap saying something like
'|B|B|C| ONE has a News Report' or words to that effect.

ITV have been showing CNN's feed with v/o from Katie Derham.

Cheers, Asa

News 24 are on BBC ONE with Maxine Mawhinney and George Alagiah. They are handling it excellently. ITV are still in regular programming! I am monitoring BBC News Specials and I will be bringing you as much content as I can.

Sorry ITV and Channel 4 are now live with Bush.

Meridian were showing Monkey Business, a regional programme focusing a local wildlife park - and then mid-way through the programme faded black and then the ITN blue screen appeared.

Bush has spoken, Katie Derham is presenting.

Asa, could you lock the 'ITV News' topic that I have just started, and then maybe change the topic title of this thread to reflect all channels?Smile
