The funeral as reported in Hong Kong, 19/9/2022. It's about 6 to 7 here, which means it's overlapped with the evening news.
The first one was TVB News Channel, who cut to the ceremony at 1742 (and remained so in PIP). No recordings of Special News Report on Jade and Pearl are available, so I guess the two channels continued normal programming as usual:

ViuTV (Ch.99) was on their 6pm newscast, so this automatically became their leading news:

ViuTV6 (Ch.96), like I said previously, suspended 2 cartoons for the funeral, which slotted in nicely with their 7pm news.
Over on i-Cable's Open TV (Ch.77), judging from the preceding PRC National Anthem and ident, I guess it was business as usual there as well, until their 7pm news:
As for HKIBC (Ch.76), it was simulcasting Bloomberg as usual, who was live broadcasting the funeral.
And finally, on the public broadcaster RTHK, Ch.32 had the live feed, albeit not til the end.
From Hong Kong, this is W. Knight, reporting for Pres Cafe.
