I wonder if News 24 is going to be on earlier tonight, like it was in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on America.

Probably, I'd keep checking BBC Whatson.

Why is World broadcasting their own coverage (other than legal or whatever reasons)? It's just kinda dumb -- sharing all of correspondents and all -- I hope they simulcast the BBC main coverage - but I doubt it…

From a TV Presentation point of view, will these attacks mean Look North Hull may not start tommorow and/or the new regional clocks/balloons won't be seen?

They may stay seperate ... or they could be waiting for a good point to bring everyone together.

One imagines BBc and ITV will stay with news throughout the night - stay tuned. BBC2, CH4 and CH5 with normal programming.

What actually happened in Star For A Night - was someone singing, then a 'News Report' caption

If BBC World goes around the World into all the contries, they can't be as biased.

Because BBC News 24 is Uk Only, they could maybe be a bit more biased?

then there's some hope left Smile -- i usually don't watch World during major news events though -- do they normally stay separate or do they eventually join? What did they do on the 11th?

CNN are simulcasting on International -- besides, it's a global event, you can't get all that biased…
