Don't really care who's presenting, if there's several news channels covering it I'll flick between them. Pleased we don't have to watch online or pay silly amounts to OSN.
I would avoid Sky News if Kay Burley is presenting. The woman is hideous!
and Anna Botting.....she cried when she was reporting from Portugal on Madeleine McCanns dissapearance.....
I know it was emotional, but get with the program. I bet she will cry during this too.
Sky News will be covering it - see below.
Sky News:
Sky News plans for their coverage of the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton on Friday 29th April.
Hosted by Sunrise’s Eamonn Holmes, Sky News will begin their coverage from 6am with Dermot Murnaghan, and will bring all the regal glory of the day to their viewers across multiple platforms.
Eamonn will be leading the coverage from a purpose-built studio outside Buckingham Palace where he will be joined by Royal Correspondent, Sarah Hughes. She will be on the ground talking to some of the millions of well-wishers expected to line the streets.
Kay Burley will head up coverage live from Westminster Abbey, catching the first glimpse of the couple as man and wife. Alastair Bruce, Sky News’ Royal Commentator, as well as officer of arms to the Queen, will be alongside her. Alistair’s detailed knowledge of royal protocol will help viewers understand the traditions of the day.
Sky’s Anna Botting, will be hosting a live screening event on London’s Southbank for public figures, friends of the royal couple, charities and other key opinion formers.
A host of other Sky News presenters and reporters will be lining the route talking to the crowds as the couple make their way from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace. Sky News will also hear from the public across the UK including St Andrews, where the couple were at university, Anglesey, where they now live and Bucklebury, Kate Middleton’s home village
The brand new Sky News for iPad will also offer a unique way of watching the wedding with live coverage, video highlights and state of the art graphics that provide the back story to the royal romance. Users will be able to rewind the live service as and when they want. Sky News’ award winning app for the iPhone and Android will also have live coverage and video highlights.
Sky News has also created a special initiative entitled, Your Royal Wedding. The channel will be asking viewers to send their experiences of the royal wedding via video, whether in the crowds on the route through London, at a street party in the UK, or around the world, or in fact ignoring the celebrations altogether. These videos will form an hour long programme of user generated content to be shown at 9pm on the evening of the wedding. Other videos will also be shown on skynews.com throughout the day alongside interactive maps, guides and photo galleries. Presenters and correspondents will be tweeting throughout the day.
John Ryley, Head of Sky News, said: ‘Sky News HD and Eamonn Holmes will be bringing the Royal Wedding to our viewers in multiple ways across all our platforms, allowing them to choose how to watch the big day. Our coverage will newsy, celebratory and fun. ‘
Eamonn added: ‘I hope they get the weather they deserve, I hope they get the goodwill they deserve, I hope they get the happy loving life they deserve, but on top of that I hope I can give them and the TV audience the presentation they deserve!”
Surely one of the satelite channels here will air it? Anyone know?
I really don't want to have to ring Du up only to have an argument because nobody knows what I'm talking about or because they want to charge a ridiculous amount of money for pay per view.
I agree if it's through V P N it will be really slow...
Can't even go out to watch it as I'm having a baby 2 days before.
I think the BBC will be doing something special on the day (but it will be mingled in with other news events). I think you will have a choice as many networks will want to cover it from beginning to end.
I'm so glad you asked - I keep wondering where it'll be shown and keep forgetting to post and ask! I'm worried if it's through the v p n it'll be as slow as anything because everyone will be tuned in :(.
