Ronald Reagan Dies

Well that's Sky News for you.

Sky go back to their own coverage... as they should.

CBS has ended their coverage for now... ABC is showing some highlights of Reagan's presidency... CNN is analyzing his death for some reason.

That's not like Sky News for you

ITV News has had both Washington correspondent Robert Moore and political editor Nick Robinson on the line in this half hour.

Now running an obit package by Robert Moore.

They are due to move to the CSO at 10.30 - I wonder what they'll do?

Thanks for your wonderful comments.

I notice EuroNews not covering Reagan. Is most of their output recorded?

Well that's me for you

That's the drawback with EuroNews. With them just playing continuous pre-recorded reports, how is it possible to break news? I've never actually seen EN during breaking news before - does anyone know how it's done? An aston of some sort?

The phrase "wake up and smell the coffee" comes to mind, Stuart.

I take it it was YOU playing the cynic on this occasion.

Re: Euronews

I've seen a Breaking News strap before. If there's a major event, I think they take the 'host' coverage, so to speak.

But as the death of Reagan is just going to be old footage and debate, I'm not sure what they can do.

Just flicked back to BBC World, and noticed they've put up their ticker during "Brain Story" to inform viewers of Reagan's death. I've never seen them put it up when N9 is off air. Does any techy person know how it's done? I presumed that the N9 gallery would add the ticker, but can Presentation do it too?

ITV News Channel has moved to the London Tonight studio (not usually used by the NC at weekends). Political correspondent Simon Harris is now in the studio with Andrew Harvey
