I believe that from 1am, ITV1 took 'NBC News' from the US, the full american feed, until the ITV Morning News, ITV Nightime was dropped

Katie Durham presented from 12.30am-1am

The Big Breakfast was replaced by Channel 4 News

All GMTV was news

Kilroy is a special live debate

Trisha has been replaced by an ITV News Special with John Suchet

I can't see Live programmes such as HouseCall, The Biggest Game.. etc going ahead.
This Morning will probably be a different sort of programme

I am quite amazed that the BBC have begun broadcasting their live programmes (ie. Houscall) with only the normal news broadcasts on the hour. ITV News far superior by broadcasting their special programme.

According to Ceefax, BBC One will be broadcasting BBC News Specials at midday and at 2.55pm. I hope they add more - a really think that evens necessitate it.

and also surprising they haven't taken any more programmes given the News 24 coverage this morning has been very impressive as well, lots of live reports, and they seem to be beating sky to quite a few things, e.g. Nick Robinson just now saying parliament will be recalled.

I think we all saw a very sad historical event of the 21th Century, and what will stick in my mind forever was those people at the top of the tower despearately seeking help, but knew that they were already doomed, and to see people jumping off leading to their inevitable death definitly brought a tear to my eye.

Even now as I watch it, I find it hard to believe that all this happened.

Whoever did this ought to be severely punished, I hope they find this evil people responsible and severely punish them, because quite frankly they don't deserve to live.

This is a impression of the caption which was used after Part 1 of Crossroads at 2.15pm today
I'm not sure if the 'hearts' were present though, but it was definally squashed in this way

You got the dimensions right but one problem:No heart back ground,just black. You could EASILY make a mockup of this couldn't you?


Yes, I'm sure we got a black background one here, I did record it coming on, but would have to wade through the video looking for it. My TV changed aspect ratios while that logo was on screen too.

At last I have the Carlton Sunrise ident on video in widescreen now too Smile

Of course, depsite us talking about presentation issues, I also found that it really came to me this morning what had really happened when the radio came on, and then the tv. I don't think it had sunk in properly last night. Sad

Some reporters of the BBC and CNN (located in Israel) has been threaten by Palestinian people. I don't know why, (maybe the pictures of celebrating Palestinians.)

I'm surprised the BBC aren't running the BBC NEWS 24 DOGs on BBC ONE - good publicity
They later did.

BBC Two was as normal until it broke away from the TUC Conference at 3.30 to show CBBC and Neighbours until 6.

ITV1 went to ITV News after the first half of Crossroads at 2.15pm.

CITV, The People Versus and Semi-repeat of Crossroads were all apprantly moved to ITV2.
Expect Crossroads to be repeated tommorow on ITV1
Yes, it was. People Versus, and possibly Cardcaptors and ZZZAP! might be too, but not today - cancelled again. Expect Crossroads on Friday now. This Morning finished at noon. Was Watch To Win on?

Did Carlton viewers see the ITV1 Hearts Menu at 7pm?

Looked to me like it was merged into the ident! (the background was still, then started animating as the menu disappeared) So each region may have had their own menu, but the same voiceover.
