In addition to the above and on the subject of remembering N24.. This incredible piece of history was put together and aired on BBC CHOICE as well as News 24. It charts the timelines from the moment it broke with the then Business segment airing live. I forget the presenter's name, but he was very prominent at that time.

Anyone without the knowledge should know that back then the BBC chose to keep both channels separate and there was no simulcasting until well into events.

The business presenter was John Terrett. I seem to recall he later had a stint in New York on the WBR co-pres edition.

You learn something new every day... didn't realise he'd gone into politics. He also had a stint presenting Breakfast News in the late 90s.

Ah yes! He also had his own show on the then ITV News Channel. 'Live With John Nicolson'

Thanks Jonathan, I'd completely forgotten about that!
