yes - other than ITV's wiggly amp problem at lunchtime, the coverage at both 1830 and 2200 was fault-free.

the pledge figure has been going up at about £5,000 per hour - now at £607,942 - that's an increase of over £75,000 today alone.

only two issues with ITV's coverage today (other than spelling Andrew Edmondson's name incorrectly)
  • saying we need £1m - no we don't, we need PLEDGES to the value of £1m
  • no mention of the pivotal Education Programme which the whole project is all about!
can't complain though - excellent exposure and it IS having the desired effect!

more emails to go out tonight, more calls to make tomorrow and Wednesday - and apparently a pile of pledges still to be 'input' at Brunty, as they've been absolutely swamped!

all good stuff!

edit: gone up to £609,537 in the time it took to type this post!
