[TV] Sky Sports News plumb the depths

[GT49er]

At 8 o'clock, Sky Sports News announced the one minutes silence, in line with the rest of the media, and the country - and then went straight into adverts! Of all the c**tish behaviour!

Looks like somebody recognosed what a c*** they'd made of themselves - they came back on and announced that, along with Sky News, they were going to observe the minute's silence ............... at 8 minutes past 8. They couldn't manage an apology though............

For a while I've been contemplating leaving Virgin for Freeview..........the only thing that I would miss would be SSN. I'm phoning Virgin on Tuesday.........

Look at me

A lot of unhappy NFL fans, that the live coverage of the game was interrupted for the one minute silence

 

[Weststander]

I try to avoid SSN.

Man United TV in all but name.

With a couple of transfer window tw@ts.

 

[dazzer6666]

I was cooking a risotto and completely missed it. Do I have to switch to Virgin or have I misunderstood?

 

[A1X]

If you were that bothered about the silence…why were you watching SSN?

Not on Game Pass

Thought this was going to be about them spelling De Zerbi's name wrong twice in their article on his appointment

You don't know who Rupert Murdoch is, I guess. Boris and his scum chum want a Republic. Quite simple.

Get a game pass….. much better than Sky

 

[LamieRobertson]

You don't know who Rupert Murdoch is, I guess. Boris and his scum chum want a Republic. Quite simple.

…but then he doesn’t own Sky anymore

 

[Comrade Sam]

That would be nice, a minute of non Royal coverage. Did you say Sky?

Murdoch has many friends from many political parties.

I was watching SSN they announced they were doing the one minutes silence, went to a break and came back just before 8pm then went to Sky News at 8pm for the minutes silence and came back when it finished.

Was i watching something different to you

The good news is they probably didn’t miss anything apart from standing around.

Obviously. At eight o'clock, having announced the one minute silence, they went straight to adverts. I wouldn't have been pi$$ed off about it if that hadn't happened. Doing the minute's silence, retrospectively, at 2008 wasn't the right thing to do, although they may have hoped it was a way out from having ballsed up..

It was definitely at 8pm on my tv

 

[keaton]

Is this like when that bloke started complaining the clock was wrong on GMTV when he was watching on +1. Do you think you might have paused your TV at any point?

 

[GT49er]

Oh well.whatever - I kept the one minute's silence at 8.08 when my TV joined up with Sky News.

In the morning I'll watch the funeral with respect then.

SSN is available on Virgin, but not on Freeview. Switching from Virgin to Freeview, I'll lose SSN - but I've just decided that doesn't matter!
