US Attack on Iran

From Foxtel provided channels:










Sky now simulcasting FOX News

Probably the worst live cross of the evening so far. Audio near-constantly going out as well.

Al Jazeera somehow manages to flip the script.

According to Press TV (Iran state media) nothing is happening at all…

Sky News back to their own coverage?

They have thrown back to Fox News

See several posts above - they dip in and out of Fox all the time.

Just crossed to Matt Doran again and the sound and picture was perfect. He mentioned that there are communication problems including loss of internet and suggesting Israel may be scrambling communications.

ETA: They were going to cross to him again later but he had to move to a bunker in Jerusalem.

Sky News UK clock on display

8.13pm AEDT - Al Jazeera first to break news, citing Reuters, that everyone bombs everyone. The rest of news networks still not picking up this yet.

Reports of successful interception by Patriot missiles over Doha in Qatar too.

Not important enough news for 9 to pre-empt their scheduled movie Runaway Bride?

I don’t think any Australian FTAs is pre-empting right now, apart from channel 24. Guess we could put that down to a lack of staffing required to handle hours of coverage.

In all honesty, that channel may have to call in overnight anchors. This story is not going anywhere for at least 12 hours.

Nine is supposedly doing “Today from Las Vegas” tomorrow. I wonder if that may change now with this development?

You know what else they could do? Simulcast it. It will depress Mardi Gras viewership anyway, which is what they want.

Also, apparently the N24 name has never died.
