BBC TV Presenter for the Coronation

I always like Tom Bradby. Will be watching later.

I’m on Sky News just now , no one presenter on long enough to be annoying 👍

Oh for the days of the late, great Richard Dimbleby, who certainly proved that less is more, and with perfect diction. Far too much mumbling and "Estuary English" these days, so I often have to resort to selecting sub-titles where they're available. Some of the commentators this morning seem to think that they're being paid by the word, so lots of pointless verbiage. Thank goodness for the mute button...

Totally agree, have switched off for now.

Try watching it on Sky News, much better.

Signing on bbc2 if that helps

Our ABC coverage is dire but the commercial programs are better. Probably the ABC is using the BBC coverage. I really don’t want to know about the republican demo just now, thanks.

I don't find Kirsty Young difficult to understand, and my hearing is increasingly poor. She did an excellent job during the Jubilee celebrations.

I’m watching Sky at the moment, but have flicked through all the channels with coverage, including the much disliked ( on Gransnet) GB News. I’m getting a feel for all of them. I think I prefer Sky at the moment but may switch to BBC for the actual coronation.

ITV presenters chatted all the way through beautiful solo rendition by black lady in amazing yellow froth. BBC allowed us to listen and absorb.

We saw it all on BBC1 and thoroughly enjoyed it. DH wears 2 hearing aids and heard perfectly although the sound did come and go a bit- might be us.

BigBertha it certainly was not you. I watched bits of it on ITV and the sound was variable. It could well have been the weather.

Kim I agree, I would have loved to have heard that lady sing instead of the ITV presenters talking over her.

I like Kirsty Young soft Scottish accent but will admit she isnt the easiest to lip read. I wear two hearing aids but i could understand her fine. There was a bit of interference though - weather?

Do you really care what people on Gransnet think about GB News Channel? I couldn’t give a stuff! 🤣🤣

I thought their coverage of the Coronation was excellent. Dr David Starkey was fantastic and his knowledge of the history of the royals is magnificent. I went out for a couple of hours and Alistair Stewart was on when I got back and he was very confident and easy to listen to as well.

Dr DS is on again, as I write, talking about his memories of the 1953 Coronation, when he was 8 years old. Very interesting.

Nana Akua is just coming on GB News. She is a breath of fresh air on TV, she really is. A bright, sassy, professional presenter who is not afraid to say what she thinks.

Was that Clare Balding on BBC?
She does seem to be ubiquitous now

BBC presentation was perfect for me. I like Kirsty Young. She has a warm voice.

Yes, I do too.

Her accent isn't strong, it's very gentle.

I thought Clare Balding did a great job.

Clear, concise, knowledgeable.

I watched bbc. despite poor hearing i understood the presenter very well.
My second coronation, and it rained on the last one too, and yes it was Claire Balding.

I found her voice to be monotonous and boring - switched off

I found her voice to be monotonous and boring - switched off

I did too and flicked between channels.

I'm sick of Clare Balding being on everything. I have to say, though, that she knew her stuff for today's commentary.

I loved GBnews coverage today and especially the knowledge and commentary given by David Starkey. I did switch around at first but only lasted a few seconds on other channels. Disliked BBC1 intensely
