It's just under a month to go until the coronation of King Charles III and the BBC has unveiled it's lineup for the weekend.

I very pleased that they've got Kirsty Young back after she did an amazing job last year during the coverage of the Platinum Jubilee and the Queen's funeral - her and Huw leading the Coronation coverage feels right

Kirsty and Huw sharing the Dimbleby role across the BBC is a very good thing in general.

Good to see UHD/HDR confirmed for the broadcast

Will be interesting to know if Sky News will also be doing it in UHD.

It's a shame David Dimbleby isn't involved in some capacity. I'm listening to his audiobook at the moment, and hearing him speak of his father's memories of the last coronation has been excellent.

Do we have any news on how ITV News will be covering The Coronation?

I would imagine Tom and Julie and possibly Mary will be the main presenters.

I could see Phillip Schofield popping up as part of their offering, he's been used in the past for Royal Weddings and the like and I think he worked quite well with Julie.

This sentence stuck out like a sore thumb from that Press Release.

Please, no. He has no gravitas, plus I can't stand him. It's bad enough he's on This Morning and Dancing on Ice and seemingly every other programme (he and Bradley Walsh seem to share nearly all of ITV's output between them!).
