I understand there will be more special presentation on lots of channels tomorrow.
What did the crawl graphics say?
In remembrance of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the sound has been lowered on this channel to observe the minute of national silence

It surely would have just made more sense to obverse the silence beforehand perhaps with a picture of the Queen. If you’re still showing the football (or Baseball) it kind of defeats the point.

Advertising has been "paused" on many channels, including the Sky and Discovery ones.
But not on Pop...

Strange for Pop to run with normal ad breaks: at least the other kids channels have removed them.
But since kids channels probably do not want to justify this, they've shrunk the time slots from 30 mins to 20-25-ish mins slots

It surely would have just made more sense to obverse the silence beforehand perhaps with a picture of the Queen. If you’re still showing the football (or Baseball) it kind of defeats the point.
I believe this is the first time that BT Sport have observed any silences, other than covering ones taking place at events they're showing. I think the slight awkwardness of last night maybe demonstrates why.

BBC2’s introduction to the coverage was rather interesting with a BBC2 ident/menu split screen over the announcement then a silent appearance of the Family/Royal ident that’s been showing on BBC1

I think there was also a silence for frontline workers during the first Covid lockdown, but of course there was no live sport at the time so it was easily covered with a graphic.
Speaking of BT Sport, this is being used in place of commercial breaks:
