I agree we don't have to watch news coverage of it all day anymore.
I also have Netflix I can use as well as a few extra channels via BT TV. Not many people had the internet back then when Dianna died and there was not really any on demand services for us to watch as an alternative. Just shows you how times have changed. Darren Quote:
I think it would be a huge news story in Ireland and they would extend all their news bulletins for days afterwards and have special editions of Prime Time etc.
The TV ratings for the Royal Wedding in 2011 on RTE were very high, showing that interest in the royals is keen, even though we are a Republic. Quote:
Think channels like Sky Sports F1 don't have to show the death, Through they could flash up breaking news on Sky News now.

If Sports channels to pull the football or motor racing when she has passed, then I will just watch the football or F1 on various sources as I cannot see the international stations being affected. But then I very much doubt that the likes of the FA or FIA will interrupt schedules with all the money they are getting.

None of the UK sports leagues will be in action during the 12 day period - so there will be nothing to broadcast. I'm pretty sure that Sky Sports will continue to air the foreign sports coverage they have but maybe without any corresponding UK production/commentary.

No reason for all UK sport to stop for 12 days. None at all. Not even the Queen dying.

But it will happen.
It didn't happen when King George VI died on 6th February 1952. The funeral was held on 15th Feb and Football League games were played on the 9th and 16th Feb as scheduled. |

Source?

This was mentioned in a couple of online articles a couple of years ago, but the problem is they were reporting on a wide ranging statement from ECB covering about half a dozen issues, of which a royal death was just one issue (so that wasn't the headline, as other matters were also covered) Therefore (although I've tried) I haven't been able to find said articles (because headline was probably about something else) |

I don't think I can find an article to link to, but I know the ECB has put by funds for the possibility of a cancelled test match. This is because if the England team were abroad the ECB would have to meet the host teams expenses (lost revenue) just as much as if it happened in the english summer.

An emergency tone alerts presenters. BBC has a Radio Alert Transmission System and the entire network will switch to Radio 4 coverage. Commercial radio has an alarm that come on the IRN feed and switch to that.
The trouble with commercial radio is so many stations leave/join or jocks come and go as freelancers that it'd be a miracle if that goes off without a hitch. |
