This news is leading the Six.


It's an intriguing one. The Head of Radio 2's tribute was quoted in the bulletin, so it wasn't news literally just in but probably embargoed. I suspect Sara had a bit more warning than the news bulletin to gather her thoughts before that link.

Jeremy Vine speaking on the news channel suggests he knew by the end of his programme at 14:00 so presuming Sara and Mike told at around the same time they had a few hours to process the news before having to share it. I suspect in many ways having to continue as though nothing has happened in the period between knowing and being able to share is almost as hard for them as announcing the news.
