Happy Monday…

I bought a streaming TV service for the playoffs and since my team is done, I wanted to cancel. Apparently to cancel, you have a chat with someone. She asked me why I was cancelling. I'm like I just want to cancel and not have a chat.

I will. Mind you, I get up early anyway coronation or no coronation. I don't care about King Charles to go to London for it but I mean not everyday you see a coronation. My friend and I might plan a trip to London in late June. Celebrate the traitors (their words not mine) holiday from the UK.

Same here -- I'm always up early anyway, so I'll be watching. Will probably be switching back and forth from BBC (America) to the major U.S. networks. (They all have their own unique way of covering this event.)

I streamed Sky on Youtube during Queens Elizabeth's events. Except the funeral because I was there along with billions of others but I didn't see the whole parade. I've seen the American reporters, all they're good for is to be laughed at. It will be interesting.

From what I've seen before (TV coverage -- BBC, and U.S. networks), I'd say the biggest difference in the coverage was that the BBC hosts did not talk as much during the major events. The American (network) hosts were more chatty.

I think the British hosts wanted to let the viewers watch, and take in, their own impressions of the event. They certainly contributed helpful and interesting commentary where it was needed. (This is not to say that the American hosts didn't do a good job, as I just think their style of reporting was different.)

Hence, I would watch both (switching back and forth a few times an hour), to get a variety of coverage.
