Been working on local radio bulletins this afternoon (just clocked off, infact)

IRN's net newsroom flash came through at 5.53pm - followed soon after by full audio of her statement, a 45-second cut (used on the 6pm bulletin read by Ana Bates - it's rare you'll hear something more than 15 seconds long) and a 45-second voicer from duty editor Nick Quarishi.

Curiously, we had to credit any use of Kate's speech to BBC Studios, which felt rather unusual.

IRN at six managed to fit in a Gaza story (with cut) and a brief read on the Christine Rawle sentencing before finishing with a recap.

I was expecting regional news to bite the bullet again on ITV - hard to say whether they 'did it better' this time by simply letting them come on air late but I guess their hand was forced this time (even after the technical problems that coincided with the King's announcement)
