Launch TalkTV

James Whale is in the studio tonight.  Usually he presents Thursday and Friday from home.

Is that because he’s going through till 1am? No Piers repeat?

That's right, James is presenting the full three hours tonight.

Tom Newton-Dunn presenting at the moment from Piers’ set with News Desk branding. Looks great. Talk TV in rolling news mode tonight has been infinitely better than usual. I’d go with this format between 6 and 10 every night.

Problem is there is only a very small audience for rolling news in the evening - see the viewing numbers for the likes of Sky News, and see the huge success of Fox News with its opinionated programmes in the evening as opposed to their rolling news at other times, and the Australian Sky News is similar.

Currently watching 'The Talk' Penny Smith is contributing to the panel. Great to see her on TV again, would be brilliant to see her and John Stapleton back together one day sort of GMTV flashbacks ?

I personally think the joint broadcast between Piers Morgan and Tom Newton was fab. Talk tv needs to come away from radio broadcast format. Piers Morgan needs to move to a breakfast show. By the way I love the studio of Piers Morgan show. I can big potential for talk tv.

According to Mike Graham there’s been a “Catastrophic” tech failure in the News UK Building. They are having camera, graphic and VT issues to name a few. The hourly news bulletins are not playing out and apparently they are all locked in the building and nobody can enter the building. The pictures on TalkTV have been cutting in and out.

Did the concrete in the building overgrow?

Is this the first time The Talk hasn’t aired? Usually at 10pm if displaced by a bumper Piers? 
But it basically seems like they haven’t bothered firing up the Baby Shard TV studios tonight.

Did anyone sing to themselves Baby Shard doo doo doo doo doo just then?

Why is Tom Newton Dunn presenting from a library tonight?

He is currently isolating at home with COVID-19, and was apart of the final panel segment.

Looks like TalkTV are also getting the random South Wales adverts seen on GB News as there's one for a chain of jewellers.

Also the local car dealership adverts which make no sense nationally, I hope things improve for them financially I personally enjoy the station.

[AllanTheScot]

Have to agree. May not like the radio studio stuff but The News Dsek presentation wise is a great show and looks far superior to the other channels 7pm offering. Visually appealing.

They're going out nationally, they aren't Sky adsmart?
