As much as they were touting it on Today this morning, it might be on NBC. I can't think of anything I'd like to watch less. If it's private, why is it being televised?

Edited to add: It will be on ABC

@SharkE I think it will be shown on network stations and cable news networks. I heard David Muir say last night (I think), we'll see you here on Saturday morning, there is a time difference of about 6 hours or so, maybe a late morning service.

Presume all networks as NBC is covering beginning at 6:30 a.m. PDT.

I could only find one reference to ABC carrying it here in the U.S., so I don't know if that's true or not.

It mentioned the funeral would be on at 10am ET Saturday, but according to my TV guide there's a basketball game on at that time.

There do seem to be some online broadcasts planned too.

I would think that most networks would carry, besides the BBC; and cable news networks. Pretty big thing since Britain used to have control over so many other countries, and he is so well known.

I want to watch it and will record it on various outlets, but think the cable channels will have better coverage without commercial breaks (I hope!).

I imagine the news channels will pick up some of it, at least.

I don't think there will be much to see, actually - small service with only 30 people in attendance and no singing, perhaps some organ music. Seems like it would be insensitive for cameras to focus exclusively on the grieving family but what else will they look at? The Archbishop of course, and the chapel's architecture.

I would expect to see this in Australia (If I lived there); New Zealand, Ireland; other British territories like Bermuda and so on. Yes, Great Britain had a lot of territories and still does. However, The USA is not one of them and hasn't been in over 400 years @World Traveler .

BBC and BBC America are networks here in the US that might show some of the services (if they plan to air any of it) at @World Traveler

@SharkE Could you please put descriptive title on your posts for slackers like me because I normally would have missed opening a post without a more specific subject note. Like just adding "Prince Philip" to this title?

I get overwhelmed here now and I am so happy you posted this--would hate to have missed it! I opened it because I thought you were announcing new kitchen stuff!

Could you please title your threads with the complete subject? I had no idea what this was going to be about until I clicked on it.

Did you know you can now ask Google the most complicated question and get a sensible answer?

The funeral will be televised on ABC here in the U.S., as well as on the BBC, which is carried by several cable providers in the states, along with Sky and ITN.

ExploreWorld reacts to Prince Philip's death

Prior to the service, there will be a ceremonial procession inside the grounds of Windsor Castle, also set to be televised.

Buckingham Palace is recommending that royal fans and mourners watch the ceremony from home, to comply with Britain’s partial lockdown

@gertrudecloset You don't think it will be shown in America? And if it is only by BBC? You're out of touch.

I found this interesting.......

"A Land Rover designed by Prince Philip himself will fittingly transport his coffin from Windsor Castle to St. George's Chape"

@SharkE Um, no, the mods don't automatically delete anything relating to the royals. They do remove nasty or baiting posts on those topics.
