EXCLUSIVE - BREAKING NEWS

All the more reason to impress the Yanks with their tasty new set !

So, if this news is true the nation will be in mourning (except for the forum members, who will be busy taking news on how presentation styles differ between news networks! )

Any idea of the time of this statement from Buckingham Palace, Lee? Within the next hour?

Everyone get into the chatroom.

Tom

Apparantley, Prince Charles has cancelled his holiday, this was news a few days ago, but makes this 'story' look more likely.

Sorry but I don't know about times I'll give another run-down of what I've been told.

The Queen Mother is either very very ill or dead

And Buckingham Palace will probably release a statment tonight.

Nothing On the 6

Can you come on the chatroom Lee?

Sorry I've got to go now but wil be back. My TV is staying on Sky News.

Also nothing on BBC World.

I don't know about ITV/C4/C5 - but I believe the BBC has revised its plans for major royal coverage.

I would expect One/Two/24/World to join together, but believe that Choice/Knowledge/Prime may either go to a full-frame still pointing to the news being carried on the other channels, or continue with a revised schedule plus an on-screen aston pointing to the news services on the other channels.

Nothing of course would be set in stone - as senior editorial and channel figures would be allowed to take the most suitable action they deemed correct in the circumstance.
