There are 4 main BBC Channels now, I think.
BBC News, BBC 1, and BBC 2 all showed the same programme, whilst BBC4 was taken off air.
We can only watch one channel at once.

Additionally, Sky News and ITV showed programmes.

To be fair to the 'moaners', BBC1, BBC2 and the BBC News and Sky News channels were all changed  so there wasn't much choice. I'm not sure about ITV.

I remember when George VI died, there was solemn music on the radio  and all the newspapers had black edges.

As i said to OH, even if you were annoyed you might grumble a bit at home but you wouldn’t bother complaining direct to the BBC.

I think the main problem was that it was the same coverage on all 4 BBC channels.  As someone said earlier we can only watch one channel at a time so why not just disrupt one channel rather than all their channels?

When the godess Dianna died, they even cancelled the Archers Omnibus.

Who exactly do the numptys at the BBC think they are - people pay for this service!

The same could be said about Sports coverage, many people ,a good proportion ,are old and sometimes there is not much else on, that gives me thr fed ups,
