There has been a massive backlash against the main broadcasters for clearing the schedules for perpetual coverage of Phil The Greeks death
ITV - audience down 60% Friday evening / BBC2 - down about 66% / 100,000+ complaints to the BBC about the excessive coverage
Id hazard a guess the broadcasters will be rapidly overhauling the broadcast protocols for a royal death in the face of the audience indifference to the event and the anger its generated.
Thousands of viewers contacted the BBC to say they felt the amount of coverage was excessive.

At least they made it clear who it was this time - 20 years ago I was camping out at a friends house up a very remote valley the day Diana died. We put the telly on at lunchtime mid coverage - and it took over an hour before we learned for certain who had actually died. Absolutely dreadful journalism! It was just long shots of the Paris underpass with almost no solid information as to wtf had actually happened
