Egyptian army secures state TV studios: sources

[Ichingcarpenter]

(Reuters) - Egyptian troops with armored vehicles have secured the central Cairo studios of state television on Wednesday, security sources said.

As a deadline approaches when the army high command is expected to step in and reorder Egypt's political institutions, the sources said staff not involved in working on live broadcasts had left the building.

The MOslem Brotherhood is not liked in Egypt.

1. Thought to be the presidential Republican Guards, not army, at the TV studios

Morsi's men still control state media

Patrick Kingsley says Morsi's guards, rather than the army, are in charge of the state media buildings in Maspero minutes after leaving the building.

The Republican Guards, not the army, are on the doors, which is significant because the Republican Guards are nominally under the leadership of the president, rather than general Sisi.

The military hasn't taken control just yet, and what's more it is exactly under lock and key - you can wander in and out fairly easily.
