No tribute shows announced by ITV just yet.
I'd imagine 'The One and Only Cilla Black' would get a repeat sometime this week and maybe 'Piers Morgans Life Stories' on Cilla. The 'Cilla' biopic with Sheridan Smith is getting a run currently in the early hours on ITV Encore.
It would be nice if we get a special tribute show over the next few weeks. The years she put in for ITV, mostly for LWT, it would be a shame if they didn't pay their respects as she made their Saturday nights for over 20 years.

Of course they will.

Only up until recently. It is now mainly live, but sometimes still prerecorded.
That show has always been prerecord.

Do you know when it changed to become more "live"?

It's surprising that Cilla never did An Audience With, which would have been a readily available tribute to repeat.

She did have the tribute show with Paul O'Grady a couple of years ago which was similar in some ways. She didn't sing any more, so there wouldn't have been much for her to perform in between the chat sections in any case.

I was surprised that Elaine Paige didn't mention it on what I heard of her show on Radio 2 earlier. Is that pre-rec also?

Almost certainly. The bulk of Radio 2's Sunday output is pre-recorded in the week.

Indeed, with one such notable instance where the pre-record went wrong being this:
The majority of the video can be skipped as it's just the emergency back-up tape, but as evidenced by linking to the news half an hour early and then resuming after the news as if nothing had happened, lots of the weekend output is a pre-record!
As an aside, the way Radio 2 have done their emergency tape is relatively smart IMO - rather than starting with a jingle and a random Radio 2 DJ, having a newsreader that may pop up at any time 'respond' to the silence is a good way of starting the back-up tape!
