The Queen dies, and the BBC think it's appropriate to saturate coverage of THE SAME THING on BBC One, BBC Two, BBC News Channel, BBC Parliament, and have stopped transmitting BBC Three and BBC Four all together.
ITV wall to wall Queen, as did Channel 4, and Channel 5.
This morning (as I type), Channel 4 has wiped out the schedules of comedy
in the morning and replaced it all with some "A Place In The Sun" crap.
ALL the home shopping channels decided to not transmit any more "in respect"!!!!!
Why can't this stuff just stay on the news Channels, surely that's what
they were created for?
And we haven't even got to the king Charles coronation nonsense yet!

It's sad, but I agree that the BBC and many other channels are going OTT.
At the moment I'm making do with My Family on W!
Although at least at some point the TV schedules will recover, unlike the late Queen.

Once I was wise to the problem, I added an extra hour to the end of the >programmes that I had set, to allow for BBC running late.

Well, I see that as an additional problem.
I have a bigger issue with them treating us all like royal fanatics. Yes
it is important news, and it should take up a lot of the news schedule.
But we all not all royal fanatics who want to see it all day on every
single channel. For starters there is other important news. Apparently the Ukrainians are gaining ground. What is happening about the cost of living crisis, if anything at all. What is the new PM likely to inflict on us?
Every single one of the tribute programmes about the Queen that I
recorded has failed to record in its entirety because the broadcasters
were not keeping to the *revised* schedule that they publicised the
previous night when they updated the over the air EPG. I don't mind them postponing normal programmes, but it's very unprofessional when the *replacement*-a programmes are not as announced.

I haven't deliberately recorded and royal stuff. But I agree that not sticking to the schedules is not very professional, and I'm finding in a right pain, with other programs my PVR is recording off the BBC. I keep having to use either my MythTV system of IPlayer.

Get a grip. It's history.

Its just filler. They'll use just any excuse to fill up hours of broadcasting time.

You may have a point. Although there is other news in the world that they can report
on. Such as the Uranians making advances against the Ruskies.

Ukraine ?
According to Zelinsky on day one, the Russians were already committing
war crimes. Now it seems to cap it all, they're now being supplied with weapons
by Iran and North Korea.
What's next I wonder ? Putin's secret email, exchanges with Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter ?

I hadn't heard that, and I'm not sure whether you are being serious.
I can't remember where Armenia is, or whether it still exists.

I heard between Azerbaijan and Armenia, with Turkish and Israeli weapons, as a
side-mention on a channel that normally reports on Ukraine/Russia attacks.

I don't really known who he is, presumably a chap who before February had a >specialist interest in dinosaurs and fossils? He seems to be a reasonable >source, several days ahead of mainstream media, yes positive towards ukraine, >but not ignoring the negatives.
I think I first stumbled on his video about the use of Russia's oldest ship >being sent to salvage the Moskva, then other stuff started to find its way to my
youtube feed, as it does ...
