newspaper reports that a record number of people in the U.K. complained directly to the BBC over the public broadcaster's coverage in the 24 hours after the announcement of the Duke of Edinburgh's death at the age of 99.
Buckingham Palace released official news of the prince's death on Friday noon, local time, at which point the BBC cleared its schedules to cover the news with BBC One, BBC Two and BBC News all carrying the same feed and BBC Four taken completely off-the-air. Popular shows, such as the long-running soapwere bumped off in favor of news shows, as well as documentaries and tribute programs celebrating the prince's life.
The vast majority of the complaints suggested that the BBC's coverage was excessive and drowned out other news topics such as the pandemic, on top of complaints about canceled programming,Jerry Springer: The Musical
I think the issue is with today’s technology, you can see anything you want anywhere you want. To take down scheduled programming and replace hours on end seems outdated when you have the internet and 600 other channels
Sad commentary on respect. ShareLove
A lot of these comments miss the point: people pay a licence fee to watch and listen to the BBC. They’re quite keen on chasing people up who don’t pay, in fact. It’s not unreasonable to expect better programming for that money.
Only 100K? What about the other 500K that couldn’t get through?
Kinda want to know what he did in his 99 years to earn all this money and respect other than being born and also having sex with his cousin a bunch of times.

SICK SICK people - would they rather hear obsessive stories about projected racism? BBCWorld
Likely the SJW crowd who would rather have wall-to-wall GeorgeFloyd coverage.
Because no one cares that he died. One less racist in the world.
