Duke of Edinburgh dies

You think that's all??? you're way out.

I was driving a Merc Sprinter when the original news was broadcast. The BBC controls all the radio traffic in the UK and commercial stations pay to use it. Every single channel on the vehicle radio was locked. I could not even change the channel at all. It just wouldn't work.
And the band information was showing DAB FM and AM all at once, it was being broadcast simultaneously on all of them.

It's quite scary when you realise that the government of the day could do that and broadcast information they want to drown you with at any moment they wanted, and you can't turn it off. 1984 is closer than we know.
The channels were freed up sometime between 3 and 4 O'Clock.

Is it the BBC doing it or the government? I lost track.
