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.

I imagine they won’t be airing normal programming, but I do wonder what they’re specifically airing right now.
VHSgoodiesWA 310 Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Absolute Radio - somber music Lyca Radio - somber music Gold - LBC coverage Smooth - I believe also LBC coverage Many other FM/AM regional networks are using IRN (Independent Radio News) which is in rolling coverage.
mre29 1563 Posted September 8, 2022 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.

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 310 Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Will CBS preempt Big Brother? It's a double eviction night. In fact, will they break long tradition and share this news with the remaining houseguests? Some may remember when Julie Chen shared news of 9/11 with the houseguests, and the reactions that followed. They very rarely do that.
EVVTV12 146 Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Mary Nightingale of ITV announced the death of The Queen Mother in March 2002. Today, she announced the death of The Queen.

Julie also shared the news of Trump’s victory in the 2016 election with the houseguests in the then-CBS All Access Over The Top spinoff.
AaronQ 282 Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 This is how CTV News and Global News in Canada announced the death of the Queen.
Gavin M. 94 Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 8 hours ago, VHSgoodiesWA said: Not seeing coverage on my local PBS and FOX stations. Are some FOX stations taking Fox News or another feed? Same w/ PBS? Are the PBS NewsHour people on live? RIP Queen. They did take FNC on another feed doing a selfie. A self-produced level 2.
David Salter JR 66 Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 49 minutes ago, Gavin M. said: They did take FNC on another feed doing a selfie. A self-produced level 2. I found it a bit surprising that Fox would run a special report of this magnitude as a selfie level 2.

panewswatcher69 29 Posted September 9, 2022 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 2254 Posted September 9, 2022 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.

AmericanErrorist 156 Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 As the day begins in Britain, BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, 2, and 6 have begun somber music attuned to their existing formats.

Glimmer 283 Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 ABC airing another special tonight in 20/20’s timeslot. Of the US networks, ABC has tended to be the most devoted to royal stories (going all the way back to Charles and Diana’s wedding) and this is certainly no exception.
