Gold, Comedy Central, Sky Sports, Discovery, etc.? Are they relaying BBC or a news network, ala 9/11? Most channels have stayed with normal programming, but without adverts. Sky Showcase, Sky Sports News, Sky Racing all joined Sky News. BBC Three and BBC Four are suspended. BBC Scotland has joined BBC News. S4C is producing their own coverage from Cardiff. Shopping channels have been suspended. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19168-coverage-of-queen-elizabeths-death/page/2/#findComment-277438 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they won’t be airing normal programming, but I do wonder what they’re specifically airing right now.

mre29 1521 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Think about it: There are employees at many of those radio stations and TV channels who have been preparing for this moment their entire careers.

I imagine they won’t be airing normal programming, but I do wonder what they’re specifically airing right now. Global owned stations, including Heart, Smooth, Gold and others, are all running LBC. Bauer owned stations have their own combined programme, which is using IRN bulletins, but mixing in their own mix of appropriate music. Those independent of those owners are just taking the IRN provided feed of special bulletins and appropriate music. I can also tell you that a community station that I volunteer for, is doing a mix of classical music instead of regular programmes.

VHSgoodiesWA 303 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Will CBS preempt Big Brother? It's a double eviction night.

Some may remember when Julie Chen shared news of 9/11 with the houseguests, and the reactions that followed. They very rarely do that.

panewswatcher69 28 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 With the breaking news story of this magnitude earlier this morning, was wondering what NBC's plans were going to be if the Queen died during the game tonight? IMO, NBC would have needed to cover her passing.

MediaZone4K 2176 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Overnight coverage: MSNBC is simulcasting sky news. CNN US is simulcating CNN I. Fox News appears to sill be live. BBC America isnt airing movies and instead Queen related documentaries. During the daylight I was surprised to see a lack of coverage on the local Fox affiliate and PBS, as was mentioned. Especially given the amount of British programming on PBS.

Glimmer 282 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 ABC airing another special tonight in 20/20’s timeslot.
