Timing issues

Peston returned to ITV last night, with a show 'broadcast' live on Twitter at 8pm, and played out to ITV viewers at 10.45pm. The Twitter feed started with audio 15 seconds behind the video, and 550 viewers - it fell to 300, before sound and picture were finally brought together.

So as you may have noticed it wasn't a perfect start to our Twitter live experiement 😅. Don't worry you can watch again at 10.45pm after the @itvnews. We go again next week! #Peston

Sadly, at 1045, most news junkies were entranced by Donald Trump's hour-and-a-bit-long news conference, which couldn't be part of the Peston agenda.
