BBC reports Col. GAddafi knocked off State TV
0007: Interview with Col Gaddafi now running on Libyan TV.

0008: Almost as soon as Col Gaddafi appeared on the screen he disappeared. State TV now showing partiotic images of marching soldiers and playing Arabic music.

Doesn't sound like Gaddafi has a firm grip on the organs of power. Also, doing your interview at Midnight sounds like an odd time for broadcasting.

3. Turns out he had almost nothing to say
The entire text is in the live update:

0033: Full text of Col Gaddafi's 20-second speech, according to BBC Monitoring: "I am satisfied, because I was speaking in front of the youth in the Green Square tonight, but the rain came praise to God it bears well. I want to clarify for them that I am in Tripoli not in Venezuela. Do not believe these channels they are dogs. Goodbye."
