Which TV channel are you watching re Queen/King Charles?

As much as I admired and liked the queen I m desperate to get away from the wall to wall coverage it’s total overkill in my opinion nothing else happening in the world from morn till night Now I ll straightened my flak jacket and tin hat and off to the shops

I have not been watching any coverage at all.
I will watch the Ascension today though, on the BBC

None.
On Thursday I watched for a while and then no more.
I mean no disrespect to anyone but enough is enough.

Same here; watched very little of the coverage. How much more is there to say? Same with the radio. I think the presenters on stations like Classic FM are finding it very difficult to maintain the gravitas (especially Alexander Armstrong). What must be, must be. This is outside all of our spheres of experience.

None.
It has all been said . Now it is just repeating as it will be over the next week or so.

None. I have just switched the radio off again this morning. I have listened to a lot of podcasts.

It’s totally ridiculous the daylong coverage. They may as well black out the channels. Now there’s so many streaming services constant repetitive clips mean nothing. There is a BBC news channel anyone who wants wall to wall news can watch that . Or Sky News or other news channels. I watched the 6 o clock news on Thursday and Friday and no more.

I am watching programmes I have recorded over the last few weeks. Just not sure if I have enough......

I'll be watching it this morning on BBC1. There has been a lot of coverage, but for such a national and historic event I think it is to be expected.

None. I have just switched the radio off again this morning. I have listened to a lot of podcasts.

I know. I listen to the radio all day, every day. I’ve been hopping about between R4, LBC and even Talk Radio ()
I’ve stocked up on audiobooks.
Currently it’s Lucy Worsley’s new bio of Agatha Christie

I don’t have a television. I watched Charles speech online on iPlayer. That’s all I’ve seen. I have a paid Guardian account, and have chosen not to have their coverage of it on my home page.

Fanny I ve done the same I often listen to the radio if I wake in the night and have been switching WR, R4, LBC and even Talk how many times can you say the same thing
I thought I was going to be lambasted after my first post but I see I m not alone It’s too too much it’s the same thing over and over I can’t hear or see any more

TV is awful, I cannot watch this constant coverage. I joined the library last week and have just downloaded a audiobook. Keeping myself busy is key for me, until we get to a new normal. I even worked in the soil, in the rain yesterday. Got soaked and muddy but it was nice being outdoors in peave and quiet, with a fulfilling job to do

The BBC and CNN for comparison we had coverage of pandemic for nearly two years we had to live with that.
This was inevitable but sudden so it’s bound to be on 24/7 its obvious because of the subject matter. I personally have watched it with interest we have the choice to watch or not.

BlueBelle and no Nick Abbot this weekend! ?

I agree vegansrock. It’s all so repetitive. I know it’s a momentous event but I’ve had enough of the wall to wall coverage.

I agree with everyone. It's just too much. Thursday afternoon was awful. Huw Edwards and Nicholas Wichell scraping the barrel for what to say over and over. I'd heard from media sources that she had already died but somehow wanted to be sure.

I confess I was almost glued to the TV on Thursday afternoon waiting for news and yesterday evening I watched the King’s address and the service from St Paul’s.

I was thinking I was the only one! TV has constant coverage and even local radio are desperately trying to find someone with even the remotest connection to the Queen to interview. I have the greatest respect for her but, as she herself proved on occasions, life must go on.

Is there no other news? Has Putin withdrawn from Ukraine, is China no longer threatening Taiwan, has the cost of living crisis been resolved, have energy prices fallen.

BBC, but Alastair Bruce on Sky news is extremely informative.
I watch as much as I need, and then switch the television off.

Yes, I was watching on Thursday afternoon too, waiting for news, and I watched Charles’s speech and enjoyed the service. And the accession council will be interesting. But the rest has just been total overkill.

No Fanny at least he brightens my weekend nights and brings a smile to my face…l love Nick Abbott

No Redhead that’s a total exaggeration we had a lot of overkill with the pandemic but they didn’t take over every entire stations for two years you’re also wrong saying we have choice we don’t have much choice as it’s on 24/7 on almost all mainstream channels and every radio station I ve tried.
Perhaps you have busy evenings/night I don’t I live alone and am quite tired by evening and want to relax with something light Devote one or even two channels to it then you can watch avidly and we can all get on with something else
I m as interested as the next person but I ve heard it all twenty times over

None. I'll admit it was fun to watch Bob Mortimer last night. This wall to wall coverage by lots of channels is too much, by the end of the mourning period how many will still be interested? I think the main events a little about her life and that is enough.
I for one would like to know what is happening in Ukraine.

I can’t understand those who say “I can’t stand all this TV!”(But it is so compelling!) However I have been using the OFF button too.
I know the papers are full of every possible aspect of the Queens life and this is surely at it should be after the passing of such a pivotal figure in all our lives. Those who have had enough, I suggest might enjoy a good book or DVD ( personally I’m thinking of watching The Crown!)
I was hugely impressed by the King’s address to the nation yesterday, glad I didn’t miss that, and will watch the Proclamation this morning .

(PS Fanny - had to chuckle at your predictive text ‘s Ascension )
