News/Media coverage of Holmes ?

[Vega]

Our local weatherman is always good in giving a heads up before his weather report on any notable astro events. Comet Holmes has been no exception. Anyone else had any tv news reports on it on a local level ?

I am surprised the BBC haven't been quicker on the uptake with this one. Afterall, its probaly the most unusual sky event since the Shoemaker-Levy collision in '94 and this IS a naked eye Comet! I've seen no reports about it on the national news, not even a short 'and finally...' report There is a poxy little link to it on the BBC Science/Nature page and BBC online do a 'most popular' monitoring system so .... click away people.... link below

I gave up throwing things at the radio/tv some time ago.

If it was some pop star/actor/actress getting married/divorced/charged with drug use etc. it would be headline news BBC and ITV

Are you suggesting that Holmes should get together with Amy Winehouse?

I can see the headlines.

"Troubled star finds new soul mate"

He's a fuzzy blob but I love him

Its been really strange how quiet this event has been in the national press and news. I expected a few 'and lastly, if you step out tonight with a pair of binoculars...' type quick pieces, but nothing...
