All news networks covering the crash. News24 on BBC1 at the moment.

Not all. Sky One and BBC2 are normal. Shouldn't Sky One simulcast Sky News? Granada Talk did on the day Diana died - it was the channel's last day too!

You'll get better quality to look for something if you record it to VHS and go through it frame-by-frame. It's on every news bulletin!

Not Quite,

I said

All news networks covering the crash.

which they were.

Then I said

News24 on BBC1 at the moment.

Which it was.

Don't see why you have such problems with english.

I don't - but changing the subject mid post is not very helpful! If you were talking about news networks why mention BBC1?

Now now. Calm yourselves.

Sky One has always boasted about the fact that it is an entertainment channel. I'd agree, looking back they probably would've done something at least but Sky have always maintained the view that if viewers want news they know where to find it - Sky News.

The point was proven because of the fact that Sky News's audience share went from about 0.19% (which is actually quite impressive anyway) up to over 15% in the few hours that the events took place.

Interesting coverage in Guardian Unlimited, today. Presenters talking about their coverage.

I saw that. Jane Hill put her oar in and was listed as the News24 presenter when the news broke. She wasn't it was Valarie Sanderson and John Nicholson, who both did a grand job.
