AIBU?

To hope that not every TV channel is wall to wall coverage of the queen's death?

I loved the queen and am very very upset. But I don't want to see coverage on all channels as happened when Philip died. I want some choice.

Am I being unreasonable?

Most people don't watch live tv these days. Watch catch up or Netflix etc.

Prime and Netflix?

I am hoping Kerrang! still broadcasts as normal.

Sorry to disappoint but it will be a lot more coverage than when the Duke of Edinburgh died.

What do you expect? It's the end of an era. A historic moment.

You have choice - watch a streaming service or don't watch TV at all.

I'm absolutely not a monarchist and I think the monarchy should end with her, but this is massive in terms of historical significance. Of course it'll be everywhere for a while. And of course you don't have to watch any of it.

I'm a republican, but the woman who has been our head of state for the last 70 years has died, so I think it's reasonable to expect extensive coverage.

Just watch Netflix or something if you're not interested.

Watching TV is optional. So optional that I don't own one.

I'm afraid your hopes will be dashed and you are going to be disappointed.

Whether you liked her or not, every channel will have every type of documentary, remembrance, royal commentator, and discussion panel about her.

The coverage when Philip died was awful and I was trying to avoid it as much as possible. It's sad when someone died and of course it's newsworthy when a Queen dies but at the end of the day it was someone who was 96. There's no need to go over and over and over the exact same things a million times. It's tedious.
