Some coverage from TWT this morning. The special music (which is fantastic BTW!) was not used. They played the ordinary opening headline vamp, followed by the ordinary titles. However, the end titles and the 0530 ident were 'The World Today Special' ones!!

Presented by Martine Dennis only!

Those images look a bit pixelly. Is your TV card, like mine only capable of 4:3 captures so you streched the images out to 16:9?

Should just record them in letterbox then- no pixellation. I just record all my stuff in 4:3 (thats what my digital box is set to anyway).

When I was watching Sky News on Fox News they wernt showing ads so I dont know. Its on Fox tomorrow though and Sky are showing ads so we will see!

At one stage Fox did go to their own coverage for a few minutes and had a presenter explaining that they were showing Sky News and then they went to ads on FOX with the FOX NEWS logo before going back to Sky News after the break.

They also left the UK weather update bits on during the headlines, no proper weather reports were being shown.

Late when FOX was back showing their own coverage they showed SKYs coverage of the MOD press conference with Sky News letterboxed with the ticker and Fox News alert on the screen. They had coloured bars at the top and bottom of the Sky News feed.

Have FOX allways had a feed from Sky?

They are owned by the same company, Newscorp -- so they've had very close ties since FNC launched in 96 or 97, don't remember when
