3pm Intermittent picture/audio glitch affecting RTÉ One on Sky
One of our readers has flagged an intermittent technical glitch that has been affecting RTÉ One on the Sky platform for the last few weeks.
The picture will freeze momentarily and audio will be lost. Colour bars also often appear briefly before normal picture and audio are restored.
Now that we’ve captured evidence of the fault, it has been reported to 2RN for investigation.

9pm ITV confirms extra news programmes on Saturday and Sunday morning
ITV has announced that it will provide a two-and-a-half hour news programme tomorrow morning and on Sunday morning, starting at 7am, replacing the planned schedule of children’s programmes. The programmes will provide live coverage of the Ukrainian crisis.
ITV would normally have a five-minute news programme at 9.25am on Saturday but no update until lunchtime on Sunday.
10.30pm BBC News at Ten anchored from London due to rapidly deteriorating situation in Kyiv
BBC presenters and correspondents in Kyiv have been forced to shelter in a basement as the situation in the city has become too dangerous to broadcast outside. The BBC News at Ten is being anchored by Jane Hill from London – rather than by Clive Myrie in Kyiv, as originally planned.
