The BBC has received so many complaints about the network\u2019s overkill coverage of Prince Philip\u2019s death, they\u2019ve launched a dedicated form on its website for viewers\u2019 gripes. <\/p>\n

After the Duke of Edinburgh\u2019s death Friday, the network launched into special coverage, canceling many of their popular shows like \u201cTop Chef\u201d in favor of live analysis. Their radio stations played somber, instrumental music. <\/p>\n

While it\u2019s unclear how many Britons were displeased with the wall-to-wall reporting, it was enough for the network to recognize that many felt there was \u201ctoo much TV coverage of the death of HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBBC1 and BBC2 showing the same thing. And presumably the News<\/a> Channel, too. Why? I know this is a huge event. But surely the public deserve a choice of programming?\u201d wondered former BBC presenter Simon McCoy on Twitter<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The publicly funded BBC often finds itself under fire from all sides for its treatment of major national events. When the Queen Mother Elizabeth died in 2002, the broadcaster received criticism because the announcer who delivered the news did not wear a black tie.<\/p>\n

Britain\u2019s other TV stations also gave extensive coverage to 99-year-old Philip\u2019s death. Commercial network ITV aired news coverage and tribute programs all day Friday in place of scheduled programming.<\/p>\n
