Sky news are rubbish this year compared to last year

Next time zone is Kamchaka in the far east of Russia at 1200 uk time. Not seen anything in previous years but theres a faint chance of coverage from one of the Russkie channels (RT Vesti etc)

Watched first "New Year Celebrations" on BBC World News from 1W, right after that tuned to Euronews from 19E.

 

[hexah]

Russia Today is reminding of how big the place is and how many time zones they have. The screenshot is from their twee trailer.

Whether they will actually deliver is another question altogether...

Anyone who manages to survive more than 20 minutes of their terrible accents and mangling of the English language deserves an award.

Anyone who manages to watch the 'news' 'stories' without thinking it is a load of utter twaddle deserves another kind of award. :-googly

If any of them think investors will be belting through their doors, they deserve certification...





:-hny

On Vesti only telling (in russian), that Russia is starting to "celebrate" New Year, some pictures with "dancing "Ded-Moroz (russian Santa Claus) aaand that's all. Waiting for Sidney now...

 

[geordieman]

Looks like nothing from RT

 

[Analoguesat]

Nah nothing monitored from +12 at all. Not surprising really - theres not really any major cities out there.

Next one is Sydney at 1300 uk. Should be good for fireworks.

 

[buzzsat]

Nothing now, just waiting for Sydney

[Analoguesat]

Sydney is one of the big ones - many of the news channels will be taking it.

 

[geordieman]

What are the major cities in russia Samara st petersburg surely theyll get coverage on RT

 

[geordieman]

[bite]

The cites are strung out like a necklace across the continent. I expect they may just do a round up using their local reporters and show it around the Moscow celebrations. St Petersburg is a nicer city to look at than Moscow though I expect we will be stuck with Moscow unless they get stuck in the traffic, then we won't see anything at all.

BBC news might take hong kong at 1600 GMT
