Amazing that all almost 400 Airbus passengers escaped as it collided with a coastguard plane on landing. A whole loss of the Airbus 350. Near folling coverage on cable news channels earlier. 5 died on the smaller aircraft.

Any sign of any special coverage of the Danish abdication/coronation/handover/whatever it is (for obvious reasons). I think it’ll be like 10pm on Sunday our time?
SBS and 7 covered Frederick and Mary’s wedding at the time.

Yes, wondering if any of our networks will be covering it especially or just in standard programs.

Seven and 10 both complemented their coverage of the Yemen air strikes with standing studio presentations.

It will all be over by then it would seem. Coverage starting 11:30pm Sunday 14 Jan on Sky. Seven must be doing a live cross and highlights.

Surprisingly, ABC News channel is showing it too. Admittedly the coverage on both Sky and ABC is pretty ordinary, so I’m watching the DR live stream while listening to the commentary on BBC News.
