Both American and Canadian networks have pre-empted regular programming to cover the death of
Queen Elizabeth II and related events and will continue to do so. Therefore, you will probably want to double-check any recorded programs.

CityNews announced today extensive and in-depth plans for coverage across all platforms of the legacy of Queen Elizabeth II, national events and ceremonies commemorating her life, the transition to the reign of King Charles III, and live coverage of the Queen’s funeral.
Acting as a special correspondent to CityNews, renowned Canadian journalist
Lisa LaFlamme will be in London leading the CityNews coverage. She will provide daily reporting for all newscasts on television and radio as well as make regular appearances on Breakfast Television. In addition to CityNews television and radio outlets, ongoing reporting can also be found on CityNews 24/7, Citytv’s video streaming news service, and CityNews.ca. (

Note that Lisa LaFlamme, who was recently terminated by CTV News will be acting as a special correspondent. I assume she had a non-compete clause as part of her settlement, but probably got an exemption for this event.
