All media were restricted (censored) during the Falklands war.

Hence the famous quote about an air attack by Harriers: “I can’t tell you how many aircraft were used, but I counted them out and I counted them all back in again.”

And we wouldn't even admit it was a 'war' at the time. It was the 'Falklands Conflict'. Bit like Russia refusing to admit they're in a war atm.

I think there is a distinct difference between British understatement where World War Two is sometimes referred to as 'that unpleasantness with Germany and Japan' and the line the Kremlin is currently spouting. I try to look at multiple TV news channels and reputable websites to get an idea of what is really going on. This is a luxury that does not exist for those living in Russia.

Re: NBC News Now
It's good that the channel is to launch on VM although from what I have read it only broadcasts live on weekdays.

Same as CNBC then. They'll maybe show non-News content too. CNBC has been showing 4 hours of US PGA golf highlights almost every weekend for years for example.

Re: NBC News Now
Just an observation on the Sky News International simulcast on NBC News Now

The picture is HD but not full HD the new ticket seems to be jumping, almost as if they are sourcing it from the YouTube feed which actually looks better.

Re: NBC News Now
US stuff is often in 720p/24Hz - which may be causing an issue.

Sky News International is streamed live as a part of NBC's Peacock service.

Indeed, and those highlights are of the PGA Tour. They also show other sporting events during their four-hour blocks each weekend lunchtime.

CNBC does show NBC's Sunday political programme Meet the Press on Sundays and NBC News on Saturday nights.

I think it may launch as soon as next Tuesday (March 22nd).

On Virgin Channel 614 or Channel 627.

I also feel that CNBC HD may also launch.

I am "working" with NBC News Now launching on Virgin on any of the following dates.

March 22nd
March 23rd
March 24th
March 25th?
March 28th?
March 29th
March 30th
March 31st?

? means I don't Virgin Media will launch NBC News Now on that date,
