Mediaguardian’s carrying a story talking about how ITV News rolled out a news special to follow events today.
They may well have, but at around 7.10am this morning when the BBC was carrying live coverage of John Reid and Douglas Alexander reading a live statement (also carried on Five Live), GMTV was in an ad break. BBC Breakfast was by then running non-stop on the one story, while over on GMTV they were running a text vote on wedding dresses while puffing their interview with someone from Emmerdale that was coming up. I thought that maybe even Five would have ditched their kids programming to take a live Sky News feed, but they didn’t.
All very slow off the mark.
