They were there ...live....then they cut off...same feed as BBC....even had mr edwards coming up on the commentary now and again.
Anyway,
Sky's "feed" went down....BBC still on air.
Sky apologised for the loss of video etc..
Then as BBC were still showing live...Sky went on to other stuff until rejoining about 180 minutes later.
Did Sky just not wanna show it?

The archbishop?
Ah, ok, not seen the national news today and have no interest in religion whatsoever so that one went past me.:)
In other words, commercial news channel makes editorial decision, to attract alternative audience to those wanting something that was available elsewhere..;)
The Budget was available on several other channels but Sky still showed it !
The Archbishop of Canterbury's inauguration doesn't fit in to that category, in my view, and the point I'm trying to get across is that we should appreciate having alternatives, rather than as often happens on DS, BBC/BBC News & Sky News get criticised when they don't deliver identical coverage.
But it is going to bring comments from non-Catholics that hours of coverage was given to the election and inauguration of the leader of a foreign church but less to the Church of England which is still the Established Church in England.
Incidentally, do Sky pay the BBC when they access their feed ?
The Archbishop of Canterbury's official site states that: http://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/articles.php/5029/archbishop-justin-on-canterburys-unique-and-special-journey http://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/articles.php/5036/what-happens-when-an-archbishop-is-enthroned
I still don't understand the difference. Are we not talking about 2 valid descriptions of the same thing?
This was a very legal event - described the the Dean of St Paul's as "Evensong meets Iolanthe"
Its purpose was to establish that all the due process had been carried out in the selection of the Arch Bishop
and that the person in front of them was the selected candidate!
- and then he took the oath and signed documents.
What happened yesterday was that Justin Welby was installed in his cathedral....
In reality, it's a commercial tv channel and like any other in a multi-channel environment, its existence is dependent on providing an alternative choice, which it can't do by mirroring everything the BBC chooses to do.
I guess that the term "inauguration" has come to be used as a simplified explanation for a wider audience (?), given that the Archbishop of Canterbury's official site states that:
http://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/articles.php/5036/what-happens-when-an-archbishop-is-enthroned
Anyhow, it's caused me to read the website for the first time, so I'm fractionally more informed.:)
