  • Over the top Queen funeral coverage

    From Ar@Ar@127.0.0.1 to uk.media.tv.misc on Mon Sep 19 10:21:12 2022
    From Newsgroup: uk.media.tv.misc

    How many TV stations need to cover the same event with the same pictures?

    We have BBC1, BBC2, BBC Parliament, BBC News, BBC Red Button, BBC Wales,
    BBC Scotland. Then there's ITV1 (all regions), ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, Sky
    News, GB News, TalkTV,

    Then we have stations like Ideal World not broadcasting at all "in
    memoriam", and Quest not showing any adverts during their ad breaks.

    UK is nuts for state propaganda.

    and Radio Caroline suspended broadcasting as a mark of respect. They broadcast the records without the presenters. :-)

    You missed Al-Jazeera who were taking the same feed by the looks of things. Basically its just a cop-out by all the TV Stations who simply fancied
    a day off.

    About the only exception were Talking Pictures TV who somehow manage to broadcast a varied programme old series and films 24/7 - old films as now
    also featured on BBC1, BBC2, and BBC4 in-between Top of the Pops repeats,
    but in TPTV's case all solely financed by the likes of Dormeo Mattress Ads.

    My feeling is that it may be justifiable for broadcasters (BBC, ITV, CH4) to devote one of their channels to live events such as the Queen's funeral, providing a commitment is made to show within n weeks all the programmes
    that had been scheduled but were displaced by the unexpected live event.

    But what is *not* acceptable is to show the same event on multiple channels
    by the same broadcaster (BBC1 and BBC2 and BBC News), or else to show
    nothing at all (as most of the broadcasters did immediately after her death was announced). Show coverage of the event, if you think it is appropriate, but don't black out all the other channels.

    The "stop all the clocks" approach to a death is something that was probably OTT fifty years ago, and is certainly insulting nowadays.

    Is it over Yet?

    Or will they still continue to use it as an excuse to mess up other programming.
