Kimblerley Leonard is hosting rolling coverage in the Sky News studio, filling in on Mark Austin's usual slot - presumably he is en-route to the site of the earthquake. News 24, meanwhile, have just shown a report on the Grammys, followed by the weather. I daresay it's times like this when the merged channel will come in useful!

CNNI ditched QMB today in favor of another hour of the earthquake coverage (although not sure if Quest was avaliable today). The additional hour, bearing the CNN Newsroom branding (and no longer Breaking News colors and idents, apart from the ticker), is anchored by Christina McFarlane, who also covered the previous hour for Isa.
On a separate note, it seems that BBC and CNN remain with traditional spelling of Turkey while Al-Jazeera uses recently propelled "Turkiye".

Credit where credit is due. Sky News have trumped every other network since this broke. The resources thrown at it are unrivalled at the moment. I'm not usually a Sky viewer but have stuck with it the most since the early hours of Monday morning.
It'll be interesting to see who turns up today in both Turkey and Syria.

Good to see Sky News doing what they do best - be the first and most urgent for breaking news.

Unfortunately not. She'll probably pop up in coverage at some point today.

CNNI now has Becky Anderson live in Gaziantep doing long live reports from the scene, while Max Foster is anchoring for 2 hours (8-10 AM ET) from London studio.
UPD. Surprise at 10 AM ET, as although Max Foster announced CTW with Becky coming next, there is actually a simulcast of CNN/US Newsroom with Erica Hill and Jim Sciutto. Becky Anderson is live as well, but as a reporter on scene, not as an anchor. Apparently they don't have a separate reporter for CNN/US, so they have to simulcast.
UPD2. As soon as Becky finished her live report, CNNI switched to its own thing, with Christina McFarlane anchoring now in the studio (so no full-hour live show from Becky in Gaziantep).
