ITV's logo looked good but it was a bit hard to....see
Radio 2 now airing a special programme of music until 8pm hosted by Ken Bruce who was actually on leave this week.
BBC Red Button has resumed transmission with the Ukraine v Northern Ireland women's football international.
So it seems that the orbit branding has been taken off Dave and we’re now back to Regular Continuity. Not sure about the other UKTV Channels however.

Pre recorded generic content, or does it contain live references to today's news?
Women's football now on BBC Red Button.
Seems that the BBC Radio networks have started to go their own way, although interestingly 5 Live is doing its own thing while 5 Live Sports Extra is with Radio 4 rather than having gone back to the cricket that was pulled off the air at midday. Local Radio seems to have been allowed to resume local programming too.
Radio 2 has Ken Bruce linking light classical pieces in lieu of the scheduled Sara Cox.

He mentioned he was on until 8pm, so potentially live.
EDIT: Ken's just done a link mentioning the death of Prince Philip so seems live.
Channel 5 +1 still mirroring EPG but has the caption up saying they can't play the play the current programme.
Obviously definitely a purposeful thing, but not sure why still.
I'd understand if it was some other massive news event, but not this one.

They may take a different tone. Andrew Marr was one of the first people BBC Radio had on to speak about the Duke, introduced as an author of a book rather than a BBC colleague.
For the record who broke the news first? Looking back BBC News was at 12.05 (and BBC1 a couple of minutes later). ITV seemed to be about 12.07 and BBC Radio was at 12.10. Not seen the footage of it breaking on Sky News but they tweeted it at 12.06.
Yes, although the government will now observe a period of quiet there will still be a reflection - and this is one of those ‘life of the nation’ type events. Marr is keenly well placed as an author on modern Britain to lead a reflective look... and pandemic briefings/measures will continue...
I think it's right that Channel 4's scheduling (i.e. Gogglebox, The Circle) is to go ahead as planned tonight.
How ever major the news story, there needs to be an understanding that some people will want to watch continuing coverage of it, and some people will not.
Those who want to spend this evening remembering Prince Phillip have many outlets in order to do this, and that is only right for such an important figure. Those who feel they'd rather enjoy some light relief, however, should have this in the form of channels like Channel 4.
Very strange ITV ident. Almost like it was just the first frame and the logo should have faded up? Video's on TV Home.
