ITV's coverage is already more watchable than the Beeb at the moment. It feels a lot more lighthearted and natural, whereas the BBC feels a bit forced.

Since this is also presentation wise CBS is using a modified Special Report package.

As for NBC and MSNBC they are using similar presentation.

MSNBC is coming from home and two anchors on site.

Telemundo is using their Al Rojo Vivo package. I believe their coverage is branded under the show.

ITV mentioned that their coverage is going out in lots of countries.

They just said hello to American viewers. Anyone know which US channels are taking it?

PBS in the US are taking the BBC One coverage (including the BBC presentation) I believe.

Each weeknight PBS stations have been showing 'Royal Wedding Watch' - a PBS commission from BBC Studios - made in London with Meredith Vieira and Matt Baker presenting, with Anita Rani reporting from Windsor.

Is it definite the BBC is doing the host feed? Anyone got an external reference?

The BBC are providing an international feed of the coverage.

However both the BBC's and ITVs domestic coverage is being taken by Eurovision so any of its subscribers can show them

Yes. The main Chapel host coverage is being produced by a BBC Studios production team, from the Events department. Obviously it isn't using BBC OB facilities as the BBC no longer have any in England. Similarly as the BBC have very few staff now - the multi-camera directors and a lot of the production team working for the BBC will be freelance, as will the technical crews.

The BBC is making both the whole BBC One programme, and also a clean international feed (not just the chapel), available as usual.

I have no idea whose taking it. ITV has deal with theaters to air it on a delay at 9AM ET so basically once it ended.

NBC used their regular chyrons when they discussed the school shooting.

Also BBC America seems to like to go to commercial break when Huw Edwards is on or mid sentence.

NBC are captioning the location as London!

I'm already anticipating the all important kiss...!

... that's the kiss between Julie and Phillip of course!



It's already been hinted at this morning.

Also worth noting that ITV News's Chris Ship has been struck down by laryngitis... perfect timing(!)
