Sky have had Sarah-Jane Mee and Mark Austin in Nottingham along with Martin Brunt.

It's days like today you really understand what the BBC achieved by gutting the one service. 

Sky have excelled today, brilliant coverage since the minute it started to break,

Why is Sky only taking the voice of the Chief constable? They had a live camera before. Now they are only showing file pictures.

It went black just before the press conference so it looks like they lost their video feed.

Another case of who?

Details still sketchy it seems but can't help but feel if it was in London BBC would have coverage on BBC1.

I have to sadly agree with you on that. There would have been a reporter on the ground as soon as they could. It does sometimes feel that London and the “north” (as viewed by the BBC mainly Manchester and the surrounding area) stories like this get lots of coverage and yet others parts it hardly gets a mention. 

Talking about the ITV updates, when did the BBC drop their morning news summaries on BBC One. I can remember when they used to give the on the balcony overlooking the news room, and I am fairly sure I can remember Darren Jordan giving them in the berco studio but when I changed jobs I stopped having days off in the week

A natural disaster which is the example Viridian mentioned is very different, there's not the same sensitivities in terms of criminal activity, potential for terrorism etc. The police have to be very careful about what is said.

The nearest example I can think of to today was the shooting in Plymouth a couple of years ago. Then there wasn't much at all from the police until the morning

Well they should released them to the media then as we had nothing til the press conference at 5:46pm.

When there is a news story out in the regions they are always slow at getting pictures or people on the scene

Obviously it’s even worse now as you have unknown people sat in broom cupboards interviewing correspondents who look like they didn’t expect to be used on aor

Yes they’ll have the big names there now but they are always lacking at the start. Particularly poor when you consider East Midlands Today are based about 5 minutes from the scene

The fact it was brushed aside as minor News at 9am so they could proceed with Nicky Campbell and viewers half baked opinions on COVID is unforgivable. As Brekkie said, that wouldn’t have happened had it happened in London

Sky have moved on to cover Trump's trip to court in Miami.
