Russell Brand has been jailed for rape and sexual assault, with Daily Record reporting a sentence of ten years and six months in its separate news update. The channel's live coverage, meanwhile, stays outside Southwark Crown Court rather than showing the judge delivering his decision.

Its main sentencing stream drew about 66,000 views in its first twelve hours, an unusually fast start for the channel's long broadcasts. Two other feeds, covering the vehicle entrance ahead of Brand's arrival and the main entrance around sentencing, also attracted substantially more views than these broadcasts usually receive.

The main stream carries Press Association footage. After an opening holding screen, the camera settles beneath an awning facing the court doors. People enter and leave, pedestrians cross the shot and media workers can be heard speaking off-camera.

There is an important distinction between the uploads: the live titles shorten the prison term to ten years, while Daily Record's dedicated sentencing update specifies the additional six months.
