During and after the More4News ad break, things went horribly wrong:
*The (last?) ad of the break was cut off as they went back to the show
*The presenter started to talk, but was quickly cut off as they went back to finish the ad break
*After a trailer, they then held the "Next" caption for about a minute (it kept animating, but silently)
*It then went back to the news as if the false start hadn't happened, but squashed to widescreen (M4N is still 4:3)
*It clicked back from 16:9-->4:3... then, in the middle of a report, they suddenly cut and showed the first two ads of the next ad break, squashed to 4:3. The end of the second ad was then held for 30s to a minute, silently.
*It then abruptly cut back into the news, which shortly after changed back to a 16:9 squash where it stayed for most of the rest of the programme.
At no point did either a continuity announcer (ha!) or the newsreader apologise for this farce.
Then, after some relative normality, the screen went black & silent abruptly near the end of the first part of The Daily Show . I gave up at that point.
[Putting it here because it's a continuity %^&*-up, not a news problem, even if the news was affected.]
