When a big story breaks like the man trying to blow up a US plane, it shows just how lax new orgs become on holidays and weekends. I don't think I've seen anything on CNN yet about it, same with Fox News ( a station which I thought would be all over it).

Nice to see the tradition of Quest doing Christmas mornings is still alive.
Yes, I like Richard reading the "normal" news bulletins. Although it was a tad Quest-ish when he brought the producer onto the set to pull a Christmas Cracker!!
Errol Barnett is on today doing the terrorist story, aided by Nic Robertson in London. As the correspondent mentioned above, CNN was a little bit thin with the coverage initially, although now seem to have it under control, whereas BBC World has done the exact opposite (heavy early coverage but thinning rapidly.)

CNN had great coverage with Ali Velshi ( pleasant surprise since he's their biz reporter), it started at 2am CET.

Ali was also providing an update on the situation on BBC1 during Christmas Day's late news.

Totally agree, they are on top of this story from the first second, they had first live reports from their reporters on the ground and they sent so many of them. Gupta is even helping the local doctors in treating injured people.

I'm on vacation in the US and CNN Domestic have been superb; from the minute it broke in the Situation Room to today (Thursday). Non stop and rolling coverage, and really informative, and totally moving. They've got it spot on.

CNN Domestic is building a new studio in the Atlanta HQ. It's a shame really, since the current set is quite iconic with the 'CNN' logos above the presenters, the view on the atrium also.
But the new studio looks amazing, due to be on air in the Spring:
