HM Queen Elizabeth Dies & Funeral Coverage

Kate McCann and Adam Boulton co-hosting on Talk TV and TalkRadio, still from Piers Morgan's studio and doing a great job.

As with the end of Boris Johnson's premiership, it's a situation that really plays to the channel's strengths - not very reliant on live pictures (at least so far) and very much about guests giving their reflections.

I'd go as far as saying that their studio presentation is my favourite of all the channels, as they've done the kind of thing I was hoping the BBC and ITV would do in terms of tweaks and colour scheme.

Thanks, @LouBlu08 for that better capture of TogetherTV. I also noticed earlier that Sporty Stuff TV on Freesat was also off air, and airing an In Memoriam slide; potato-quality photos attached.

BBC had an issue just now where part way through Theresa May's tribute, the video kept repeating itself with her saying whoever the Queen met, "the faces of the people in the room, lit up." This happened for about 12X before the screen faded out and the transmission thankfully restored. Some of the speech was missed therefore. Not sure what caused this, the contrast of the screen seemed to glitch before it happened.

Sophie Raworth has picked up coverage from 1pm BST across the BBC.

Edit: Doesn't sound like she's very well or at least her voice doesn't sound too great. Could see a repeat of Sophie to the rescue.

The video on both sides of the screen was repeating.

Here’s a look at the beautiful sombre countdown from BBC Persian last night for anyone interested with countdowns.

The scenery time-lapses is identical to the WN version used during Prince Phillip’s coverage, but a bit longer with unseen sceneries at the start~ I’m expecting the NC and WN to be utilizing them later today…

Don't see this already posted - interesting to see how the studios got word:

Do we know if local news has been cancelled again?

Not sure I fully understand why the BBC aren't providing live coverage of the F1 event as they usually do.

Fair enough if you don't want to broadcast it but I cant see how only providing a webfeed of it (as they do half the time anyway as it's low priority for 5 Live Sports Extra) doesn't really strike me as being something which could be perceived as disrespectful.
