TalkTV seem to have introduced a scrolling news ticker this morning, at least during Mike Graham's show. It is headed up by an "ALERT" tag. However, it isn't very smooth and appears juddery on my TV every few seconds, similar to GB News' 2nd iteration ticker.
When they've had the alert scroll in the past its been juttery.
It's even worse on YouTube where they still refuse to support 25fps or 50fps live streams, so they render at 30 or 60fps.
Am I right in thinking that Pier's show is made by his own production company? If so it's a very different situation to Andrew Neill as walking away from the channel has bigger consequences - there's staff and other contractual issues to consider.
The comparison to The Jack Doherty Show is more apt, he was co-owner of the production company.
If that's true, 6 weeks is an odd time to take off, if that's imminent he'll be back for the school holidays and the summer lull in TV ratings
Yes, his "six week break" is no different to when Loose Women is "axed" everytime the racing is on - he's not taking the break till the summer which was to be expected anyway.
There was a live weather bulletin during The News Desk. Nazaneen Ghaffar did a live from Hove.
On Friday, Tom Newton Dunn’s The News Desk delivered TalkTV one of its first agenda-setting scoops. It’s a harrowing story: according to one “NHS whistleblower”, multiple people a day are dying while waiting for an ambulance, some while still on the line to 999. The responders just can’t get there quick enough. A tough read, although Guido had a feeling he’d seen this one before…
It turns out he had. Back in January, then-GB News reporter Amelia Harper broke the story as a scoop. One “emergency responder” exclusively told Harper that “patients are dead by the time [ambulances] get there“, and that pressure was rapidly building on the NHS. Multiple critical incidents were declared. Now, over four months later, the same story – the “emergency responder” becomes an “NHS whistleblower” – has appeared on The News Desk. Who got the scoop this time? None other than one Amelia Harper, who jumped ship from GB News to TalkTV…

To be fair, the Newton Dunn show got an exclusive in its first week or two with the Windsor castle security breach
I wonder if it being a daily show is a factor in how it’s doing? I quite like Bill Maher’s show on Sky Comedy and suspect some of Piers’ show has been modelled on this, however it’s on weekly and so is less of a commitment. It also means it can be more selective in what it covers and who it invites on.

To be "agenda setting" other channels have to pick up the story and run with it, which didn't happen on either occassion. This (sadly) is kind of a bread and butter story where you can get an "exclusive" on how bad it all is quite easily without really having to stretch your journalistic skills or worry about the timing of it. A Friday though is probably not the best day to run it - do it earlier in the week and you can follow it up over a couple of nights.

Yes and it's hardly an exclusive that the NHS is stretched and people are waiting a long time for ambulances
