I would think schools would be closed for a week or so (definitely closed for the funeral and the Coronation).

Radio stations aren't allowed to break the news of a royal death, to my knowledge. IRN (Independent Radio News) have to network it (or at least for some stations).

For the Queen, all analogue stations would probably carry uninterrupted coverage.

I hate people who come on fora and say "I told you so".

But I just can't help myself.

As I've been saying for months, you can't spend £20m relaunching a news channel, lose viewers and expect to keep your job.

On a lot of shopping channels including bid tv, they use autocue to pipe an output feed to the camera. So essentialy the presenter can see themselves talking to the camera. Take some getting used to I expect.
