How often do those messages come up on CBBC and Cbeebies

From a radio perspective, I think the commercial sector, in particular Global and Bauer have got the mood right. On-brand obit playlisting and regular news updates.

However, the BBC nationals going into an all stations service from Radio 4 seems wrong. The BBC got it right during Diana's death by providing separate station obit formats, such as Radio 1 playing ambient music. If anything can be learned from Operation Forth Bridge is that the BBC need to tailor their obits to target their audiences better as this will alienate especially younger listeners.

The BBC’s website shows the BBC News Special will be across 1, 2, News until 6am.

So no obit documentary?

It was discussed recently on TV Forum in speculation that the DofE's death was likely to occur fairly soon. Mary Nightingale led the ITV coverage, Peter Sissons the BBC coverage and the news broke between 5.30pm and 6pm.

Possibly so they can add the images of him to the backdrop (as can be seen in the handover clip posted)?
Yeah that's not the NaT one, in fact I think the NaT background is lighter than I remember...

Firstly, terrible news. My thoughts are with the Queen and family.

I think it's the pre 2016 NaT/weekend late look, isn't it?

Martine put on her jacket between the news channel announcement and the bbc one announcement. Must have done it whilst speaking when they were showing pictures. I think Martine did exceptionally well today.

Broken caption on Drama during EastEnders. To make this even worse, the channel is broadcasting in 16:9 pillarboxed anyway (at least on satellite)

Surprisingly radio 2 and lots other just crashed to silence before the official announcement. Think radio 1 had the worst crash out. How did local radio have a heads up and national didn’t?
I think out of all the national networks, Radio 4 handled it the best by slowly fading out of the book before the actual announcement. I presume it's being produced by Radio 4, due to the presenting team - and the fact they seemed to have the most idea of the time of the announcement.
Do we know long will the programme be taking over domestic radio networks? The schedule pages have not yet been updated.
Schedule pages updated: https://www.bbc.co.uk/schedules/p00fzl7k#on-now
Coverage until 6 tomorrow morning
I'll be switching to World Service for Newshour later, which will also have a main focus on Prince Philip.

Possibly will be incorporated under the 'BBC News Special' title. Could well be just a blanket coverage of the schedule for now though, until the timings of any documentaries/regional news can be finessed.

Not really surprising but Netflix's share prices have gone up in the same point the news broke out.

For many people today, the Queen and Duke have just always been around, it feels quite sad.

It looks like most broadcasters only found out around 12pm, looking at it - all of them were slow to update their websites, unlike the queen mother where it looked like it was known for some time before it was announced.

Yes you could tell Martine was trying not to panic at the realisation of the importance of what she was having to report! But she did handle it well.

BBC Four schedule still as normal - including a women’s football friendly between England and France. Will be interesting to see if that goes ahead.
