When it comes to all the silly simulcasting ITV and Sky are doing I agree with you. I just thought more networks may want to provide their own coverage as will be the case in many, many other countries. Channel 4, as a serious news operation, could have provided coverage AND an alternative schedule on their sister channels. Surely you’d agree showing royal documentaries is no alternative really? Anyone who would usually watch it will be watching the funeral
