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

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.

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 (blush)
I’ve stocked up on audiobooks.
Currently it’s Lucy Worsley’s new bio of Agatha Christie

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.

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

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.

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

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.
On Thursday I watched for a while and then no more.
I mean no disrespect to anyone but enough is enough.

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

BlueBelle Sat 10-Sept-22 08:06:46

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

Have been channel hopping loads..some of the newsreaders are irritating..my low mood I suspect..but others I can listen/view for few hours...I've taken to watching the Euro news and CNN to see how they are reporting on the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the incoming King Ascension...which channels are you watching?
