BBC News was good for GMT+3 they took an almost identical feed to Bahrain TV which they stuck with for it's entirety albeit showed bits from Nairobi, Lusail and Damascus as you mentioned. CNN Internationals coverage was good throughout the night although the music choice was questionable at times especially for Dubai GMT+4. I couldn't see Lionel Richie's concert in Dubai televised anywhere, it would of been good to have seen that. CNN was easily the best for GMT+2 as they chose not to show the Acropolis.

Last night has got to be the worst New Year's Eve I've known weather wise, even Astra 2 was struggling on a 90cm dish in the early hours of the new year here in England. It was good to see Nuuk, Greenland for the first time courtesy of the Filipino workers who temporarily live there whom which kindly decided to live broadcast it.

Who knows maybe next year we'll get to see Sky News in HD.
