Would he stay or would he go? The rumour mill got the better of several broadcasters this week when speculation about Kevin Keegan's future at Newcastle reached fever pitch. But IRN's sport journos kept their cool. As others reported his definite exit, IRN waited for full confirmation from St James' Park.
In the interim, we brought you audio from players, voxes and the supporters club. At 1846 on Tuesday IRN was first to snap the news Keegan had not been sacked. We then brought you voxes of confused fans. Sky News Radio ran copy at 1900, before deciding to put the story top several hours later.
Finally, on Thursday evening, after more than two days of talks, we learnt King Kev had quit Tyneside. Confirmation - at last - came from the League Managers Association. We snapped the news at1846 and text alerted. At 1900, we ran an "as live"with one of our sports reporters, Sky News Radio led with copy. We then brought you voxes and former player Warren Barton for 2000. Sky News Radio ran poor quality phono with Mick Quinn.
