The coverage was pooled between the main 3 broadcasters - BBC, ITN/ITV and Sky. I wouldn't have thought that the two smaller channels would be able to contribute to the coverage, neither has the resource or the budget to do so. So it's a case of either buying the coverage or doing their own thing. I don't know if they'd be charged more as a domestic rival than a foreign broadcaster.
The ceremonies themselves I think will be different as they're official state occasions so I expect they're open for anyone to show. IIRC there's one event where actual ceremony itself can't be shown by the BBC best the rest of the coverage can - it's not theirs despite being filmed by them
