Prince Philip has Died - Brekkie - 10-04-2021

Seems a mini-media village is popping up at Buckingham Palace, though BBC and Sky at Windsor Castle today.

I guess international coverage will be very different to usual due to the travel restrictions requiring 10 days in quarantine with broadcasters having to anchor from their studios and rely on UK based reporters or relaying the BBC/ITV/Sky feed.

Is it part of the protocol to mention 'from London' when announcing the news? Or was this because of BBC World News opting into the feed.

I also believe Global Radio's news mentioned being 'from London' at points yesterday, so maybe there's more to it?

James Martin's Saturday Morning moved to Sunday.

The last Radio 1 show you can click back onto is actually the 'Anthems' block from 10:30am. However the (as it has now been segmented in the schedule page) 11am till midday show is unavailable. Radio 2 has Ken's whole show, because of the changeover time of 12pm. BBC Local stations have the normal schedule for yesterday but all shows are greyed out with no option to listen again.

That's a bit of a shame, it was all available yesterday and fairly interesting, though all that basically happened (on the national networks at least) is that they switched to the obit programme at exactly 12:10:00, mid-song or mid-sentence. Adrian Chiles on 5 Live was the only one who was already reporting the news and had gone into an obit package which was cut off, there was no sense that any of the stations were given a heads-up about the exact timing of the switch. The exception was Radio 4, who were of course providing the obit programme, so they had a proper fade out of the programme in progress and an introduction from the continuity announcer.

The only other difference was Radio 1 Dance which, as a pop-up station, presumably needed a bit more manual intervention to switch and so joined late.

Probably an old tradition?
They've not said "BBC Television" as much as I expected.

I'm enjoying the instrumental pop songs - they're quite relaxing. Surprised the sombre dance music tailed off towards 11pm/midnight even though Danny howard was still doing short links. The mix of music became a bit, er, eclectic. (Tiga's Sunglasses At Night from 2001, anyone?!).

Personally think what they are offering is better than Radio 2.

True. They are quite relaxing having had it on for the best part of an hour now.

Presuming this is just an easy thing to switch off, which is what they've done?
BBC Sounds now have everything beyond midnight for Radio 2 but still nothing after Gary’s show yesterday. Looks similar across the national networks.

For historical purposes I hope they do get them uploaded, would be fascinating listening back in more detail.

The British Library have been recording all the main UK TV and radio news output (including BBC ONE, TWO, FOUR, Parliament, C4, Sky, Radios 1, 4, 5 Live, World Service, but NOT 2 or 3) for about a decade now. It's not (and may well never be) available online, but you can go along and pull it up on computer there.

Gosh, that crash in by bbc world news wasn’t great was it. They could have easily filled until the news report slide came up.

I think it just has a gravitas that sounds appropriate.

Not today though, aren't libraries closed, and among the places reopening on Monday?

I've always associated the line "This is BBC Television from London" as an "oh no, bad news" phrase, and that's it's point. It does have that gravitas.

STV have made an ... interesting choice of ident.

Edit: Never mind, I misunderstood. It's "what they could do".

Ah, my mistake.
Thanks :-)

ITV News' studio is really proving its flexiabity in the last 24 hours.

Mary Nightingale is using the set used by Julie and Schofe last night for coverage of the Royal Salute

Radio 2 was rough! It appears they missed the warning or didn't have time to react.
