It does seem odd, and it is also very odd for BBC 1 and 2 to be in simulcast. I remember with Diana BBC 2 split away about lunchtime I think?

As said up thread leave it to BBC 1 and ITV to have blanket coverage. I spent today in Central London, other than the BT Tower displaying the news, you wouldn't have know anything had happened. There was no sombre atmosphere

Surely they could reschedule them to Monday?
Nothing confirmed, I'd say Monday at the earliest, can see them delayed further

Yeah, hopefully the official socials of EastEnders, Emmerdale, Corrie and Hollyoaks will give us some info on the scheduled episodes that were supposed to air.

BBC Four suspended tonight, as per the plans that have been in place for some time.

Thought Martine Croxall was excellent as was the interruption on BBC One - that moment long-rehearsed but as we've seen before, it can go wrong.

Thanks for that info.

Though I must say I find that a little bit over the top. To have both BBC Two simulcasting and BBC Four suspended for the night seems a bit much.

Will there be a simulcast of BBC News? or just a static card

That white-on-black BBC logo is what we would've seen domestically as well, before that rather tasteful news report slide we saw earlier was introduced. Some might have been surprised that the side and voiceover originated from news but I think that's been in the plans for years too (might have flipped back and forth at some points).

Well it makes sense considering they're played out from the same place by the same company, no?

Not the case any more. Not even the same country!

BBC Studios channels (Europe) and UKTV are played out from Munich by SES, but UKTV follow the same Obit guidelines in terms of look and feel as the BBC.

Obviously not.

But what will they do with the extra time? Simulcast BBC News 24? or just show a static card

Keep the closedown caption/fault caption on.

Ah right. I obviously don’t play enough attention to the intricacies of who plays out what BBC Studios channels...
