BBC Breakfast were this morning reporting news of Markle's Father not attending, but pointlessly had the correspondent stood by shrubbery on The Mall. What is the point of these OBs? The wedding isn't taking place there, and the update didn't involve information obtained from that location.

If anyone wants a good laugh, a wedding edition of the rather harsh comedy 'The Windsors' is now available on All Four (and also broadcast tonight). Laughing Laughing

They have created graphics for imaginary US News Channel ABN, with Fergie as commentator, and showed pictures of the 'invited rent-a-crowd' getting disinfected before being allowed in. Laughing

The Windsors has been the only good thing about all this nonsense. Well worth a watch.

I imagine it will be quite a while until the next 'major' royal wedding now.

A one minute round up of actual news from the day.

If you mean ISO feeds from St George's Chapel of the wedding service - I'd think that would be very unlikely.

I can't imagine that the BBC (who I think are providing the host feed)

I’ve not seen any mention of iso feeds on the documents I’ve had to look at so I think noggin is right - the Palace will want as much control as they can and part of that will be everyone seeing the same thing.


The BBC are host for the service, with Sky and BBC sharing host duties for the parade (half the route each). Somewhat unusually ITN aren’t part of the pool. For reasons best known to them they’ve put out their own cameras for the parade, so for that bit you’ll see different pictures on ITV. (Possibly CNN and NBC might have those too?) For the service though there will just be the one feed.

I wonder why the Australian networks want to use Outside Broadcasting rather than use a studio? The scenery is a bit redundant when it's mostly dark.


Two reasons I suspect. A studio costs more, and one of them wants to present from 5 different locations. Repositioning a studio each day would probably be tricky - you'd probably need two so you could alternate days. $$$$

I understand that. But I was thinking if ISO feeds of beauty shots. Such as the exterior of the church or a camera in the back of the church showing everyone.

I imagine NBC has at least dozen cameras demployed around town based on their correspondent they said they were deploying. I imagine ABC and CBS are the same.

I could be wrong but I think Today used the Daybreak studio or another studio at TLS when they came for the Olympics in 2012.

Well now in 2018 they will have to be based in Windsor, and so spend more money on a temporary studio for their coverage. Windsor must be loving this, having the world's media flocking into the town. Windsor is such a beautiful town, now loaded with journalists and news presenters from across the world.
