Does this mean that Richard Quest will be finally let out of the maze?


I want to know if Julia Chatterley found out whether it’s too soon for an IPO.

I think at least three of the four Sky News anchors (Boulton, Burley and Murnaghan) were supposed to fly back to the UK tomorrow ahead of doing their programmes from home next week. Wonder if that will still be happening, maybe Burley will do Breakfast in the morning before travelling back.

Not sure about Gillian Joseph - perhaps she will be staying out in America for a while.

Recorded from WCMH-TV in Columbus, how NBC announced that Biden had won the election.

I think at least 3 out of the 4 will still fly back either tomorrow or Monday. Kay will probably do Breakfast or Kay Burley or whatever they call the morning show on Sky News first

Fox News has also declared Biden the winner, is showing footage of the celebrations also.

ABC News seemed to put a tick in the box for PA, say that Biden was 'set to win, but we're not yet calling it' or similar, just after CNN had made the call?

That was quite a bit more polished than the NC/World announcement - I don't like to criticise on here, but it felt somewhat unrehearsed for such an anticipated event.

Yes, it was pretty understated and almost like they were waiting for a sting for fire off that never came.

Yes they could have had a breaking news sting. I thought the pause was for BBC one to join but it wasn’t.

Yep, definitely feels like there was a sting missing. Also, you saw the extra 20 votes added to the total on the bottom strap a good 30 seconds before there was any acknowledgement on screen.

ITV Weekend News is being presented by Tom Bradby Live from Washington

He’s just had to apologise for “a swear word” that was visible in the background earlier in the programme

Apparently it was at the start. I didn’t hear anything.
