Are Challenge and Pick owned by Sky, as those breaking news graphics are very much alike.
Pretty sure they are.

Yes. Indeed, Pick was what used to be Sky 3 IIRC, and was the channel Sky used to air the "extra" Premier League games they aired on a FTA basis in the summer to conclude the delayed 2019-20 season.

IME from watching Challenge they plug other Sky channels and services in breaks more than they do their own channel.

I keep expecting him to talk over the end of every song, lark around with the impressionist, deliver 'factoids', and read listeners' banal messages out.

"Loving the show, Steve! Great music choices in light of the sad news. Just singing along to the sorrowful ballads while I paint the kitchen before having corned beef hash for tea. Can't wait for Serious Jockin' on Friday!" - Martin in Somerset.
Aren’t they just airing a prerecorded show that was meant to go out yesterday?

No, it's live. Radio 2 has scrapped all pre-rec content this weekend.

Steve is Serious Mournin', No G.

If that happened, all hell would break loose when it comes to BBC criticism in a way we probably have never seen before. To say certain media outlets and commentators would have a 'field day' would be an understatement.
Why would that happen? As has been mentioned multiple times, the death of a head of state would be a much more complex affair and a massive news story, probably one of the biggest of the year. The newspapers that tend to criticise the BBC will be the exact ones most dedicated to the story, as has been the case with Prince Philip.

It's a shame UKTV's orbit "music" loop is really short and not seamless. I'd actually not have minded sitting through a ad break worth of it. It's better than ocean noises.

Well, they don't really expect people to sit through the music loop, they'd much rather have you flick the channel over to BBC One to catch whatever the important news was instead of watching essentially nothing. It is quite a nice track though.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it would happen. I was just using your hypothetical scenario as a basis to give my opinion on what the reaction would be like if it actually played out like that

Brekkie post_id=5349 time=1618066836 user_id=976 Wrote:Interesting yesterday that the universal message for all straps was to turn to another channel to find out what the story was. Clearly protocol across the industry not to announce the news by means of an on screen graphic.

Yes, that's correct, I think that's a general rule with most broadcasters. Also in a lot of places, live non-news productions are told that their presenters should not announce the news before handing over to the news report.

Somewhere there's a whole procedure for what to do with a studio audience when something like this happens - something about not letting the warm up act announce it and having to get the most senior person they can find down to the studio floor to break the news.

I assume that Huw Edwards will probably be hosting the BBC's funeral coverage whenever it happens. And for ITV News it will probably be Julie and Schofe or Tom Bradby

Not sure if RTE Radio One broke into Ronan Collins lunchtime request show, but it definitely led the News At One, with live contributions from RTE's London correspondent and Peter Hunt via Zoom.
Rest of the programme - news from that side of the Irish Sea.
It was only the second story on the Six One News on RTÉ 1. The Belfast violence was the top story. There were three reports about Prince Philip on the programme, one about his death, one about his life and one covering his visits to Ireland. I do expect his funeral will be broadcast live on RTÉ 1. Previous Royal weddings and funerals have been broadcast by RTÉ.

Steve is a great broadcaster for things like this. He would have recorded this show yesterday instead of broadcasting his normal show.

Anna Botting or Dermot Murnaghan (or both, perhaps) on Sky I imagine.

Mark Austin was good yesterday after the news was announced.
