What time was the first bulletin (London time)? When did they announce she had died? I believe I tuned into radio at 9 or so and it was on the hourly news and then at around 11 pm Iowa time BBC shortwave announced she was gone. Can someone correct me on the time? Thanks.
This bulletin aired around 0140 UK time. Rolling coverage/BBC World simulcast started at 0230. All coverage went to the domestic feed at 0630 but the International feed went back to it's dedicated coverage. All other channels were merged to BBC Television from London (same for those who simulcasted BBC1 or whatever feed they probed in). BBC2 went to Grandstand (sports) but BBC1 stayed with news coverage and continued to overnight until closedown; second BBC World simulcast at 0020. CNN announced her death at 11:50pm ET, and aired a snippet from the 0630 announcement at 0710 UK time. (2:10am ET?) MSNBC showed live pictures of BBC World for a short amount of time. ITN did 2 newsflashes - one at 0130 and another at 0440. That's all i know, to be fair. P.S.: The official name for BBC Shortwave is BBC World Service. Ciao
@@theebloxinatorI have some more details I have learned: - ABC & NBC in the US showed the BBC World simulcast in bits. NBC began covering the accident at around 23:30ET and continued throughout the rest of the day. I don't know at what time ABC began showing the BBC footage. - CBC in Canada also showed the BBC World footage. I know this because there are 2 videos of it on TVARK that prove it, one of the two videos shows the official announcement, the national anthem of the UK, and then cuts to the CBC domestic newsroom. Sometime later they went back to the coverage, and later, they began a special programme. - I read on an Australian forum that a TV network in that country (I think it was either Nine Network or Channel 10) took the Sky News UK feed.
@@OcelotlDeCostaRica National Nine was showing regular programs. National Nine did a newsflash after multiple sources confirmed Diana's death, so most likely Channel 10 Australia took Sky News UK.
yeah great, but its missing the best bit: the guitar solo after Vance says "so what's a bum got to do to ride this thing?" And Telena says "turn the key" {great guitar solo}
@@mjj1434 Oh sorry. I thought you meant field hockey because the NHL doesn't have games in August other than the pandemic bubble in 2020 and there was no World Cup or any international tournament that year. Maybe your memory is pointing to Montreal vs BC Lions in the CFL that night.
Davey was superbly talented. The 80’s spawned tons of talent. This was a b-side if it was a Depeche Mode song (great band) it’d get played in front of stadiums. Fate is a fickle friend
This initial BBC News report on Diana's car accident in Paris is not unlike the first bulletins from CBS News on the shooting of President Kennedy in Dallas in 1963. Each time, people everywhere were pulling for JFK and for "Di" when it was thought that they were still alive, only to have them die and plunge their respective nations into periods of great sadness and mourning. :( :(
So a Funereal held in France was shown before her death was announced- Spooky. a coincidence? or did somebody know something ? If only i believed in conspiracy theories.....
Damn, I would be pissed off if I was really getting into Borsalino just to have it interupted by the death of a woman who wasn't even a real princess any more.
I could have sworn that I was watching that film called "Reds" starring Warren Beatty. Maybe i'd taped it from another evening or something like that. I do rememer Martin Lewis announcing it though. I'd never been so shocked in my life!
I remember when it happened- i was 7, my cousin had been staying over and we got up and turned the cartoon channels on as usual (pretty sure it was Cartoon Network). There was an episode of Tom and Jerry and this disclaimer at the bottom of the screen saying to turn to a news channel 😔
There's been a video posted online of someone swapping channels during this time in the morning. UKGold, Nickelodeon, they all had that bottom screen-disclaimer, but I didn't see Cartoon Network on there. Wow.
@@JayDeeIsMyName I think it was because cartoon metwork was the main channel I bothered with at the time and it was the first one I turned on, so I changed it straight to some news channel (probably sky)- we didn't have sky, just that cable service with the little black box
