Channel 5 News off air due to powercut

Channel 5 News hasn’t made it to air this evening following a powercut in the gallery.

Apologies to all those who're turning on, expecting to see the news. I was in the studio, everything was ready to go and there was a power cut in the gallery. Only ever happened once in 32 years of broadcasting… https://t.co/rBdyhUmPsB
