Interesting decision given there's literally no other details and it isn't *that* news. It's noticeable how active the background of Studio E becomes.
Very smooth opt in, a pause on the News Channel and then a "welcome to viewers on BBC One".

BBC World News are also taking coverage from Studio E.

Politics Live on BBC Two is covering it too. As Asa says the blanket coverage seems remarkable given that there isn't really much news.

Although a fairly significant statement, I didn't think too much of it until they broke into programming on BBC 1. Given the announcement of the Queen Mother's death where there was no coverage prior, this does feel like a way of managing the news with a view that news could become more concerning.

My colleagues and I were just thinking the same thing actually. Gosh that newsroom is extremely busy now.

Pretty obvious there's more to it than is being let on with all the breaking into programmes, the family going up to Balmoral, ministers leaving the commons abruptly etc.

The NC dropped the title sequence for the NaO… basically they just faded into Ben Brown in studio E and continued with rolling coverage with the breaking lower third graphics… on BBC One they are taking the network TX rather than the NC output so there’s no ticker.

It seems that such an announcement isn't one that they would expect Buckingham Palace to have made, so the significance of that led to the reaction
