The News Channel initially reported the news at around 10:55 - presumably a little too late to switch the BBC Two simulcast to BBC One. BBC Two went straight into the breaking news at 11:00.
Sky News were slightly ahead of the BBC with the first report.
Incidentally, RTE's Morning Edition, which came off air just before 11:00, is now back on air at 11:05
It's just been announced that the Pope is to resign at the end of the month. Any terrestrial channels covering this yet?

Peculiar element to the BBC Coverage, have seen the NC from 1100 and World from 1130-1200, has beem a lack of face to camera reports.

For a non-24 hour news channel their rolling coverage has been superior to that of the BBC and Sky on this occasion. Joe Little has to be one of the most knowledgeable people on the Catholic Church and his wealth of experience is making me choose RTE over the other channels who are trying to catch-up with this unexpected story.
RTE ran their pre-canned pope reflection video package, with a look back a the life of the Pope. Obviously no-death references. They ran an extended Morning edition.
