BBC Radio news special coming to an end at midnight according to James Naughtie.
EDIT: BBC Local Radio, Radio 1, 1Xtra and 6 Music taking Radio 5 Live. Radio 2, 4 and 4Extra sharing a separate programme. Radio 3 playing classical music.

Genuinely fascinating to see these obit docs being rolled out after years of being on the shelf. C5's one (which the EPG suggests lasts 10 hours?!) has featured Gyles Brandreth and Ann Widdecombe looking about ten years younger than they currently do.
Prime Video's tennis coverage started with a short tribute and statements from the USTA and AELTC. Rather sombre mood to it and not the hype there would normally be before semi-finals.
Thanks to everyone posting clips of how other channels broke the news, and may they continue. For obvious reasons I've stuck with BBC for this historic event. May I also add my sympathies to the the royal family at this time.
As regards the shopping channels, QVC have updated their slide to refer to "yesterday's sad news". TJC were on air earlier, but have come back off again. Gemporia's channels are off, and even TV Warehouse has decided to stop, despite their entirely recorded content.
The only shopping channels (barring the infomercial kind) running are the Hochanda-owned Create and Craft and Craft Extra.
