The overnight ratings are absolutely fascinating.

Total viewing was down by about 15% compared to last Friday.

ITV dropped below a million viewers in the 9pm primetime slot, which
is almost unheard of.

At that point Ch4 had more viewers than BBC1, BBC2, ITV & Ch5
combined.

The media depend on the royals so the media wildly exaggerate the interest in royalty. Whatever was on C4 at 9pm last night shows that most people don't give a shit about Philip.

I don't think that's the only conclusion though. Lots of people might give a shit about Philip dying and just not want to watch boring endless TV about him. Maybe they're having some reflective time at home or on the phone to their mum or whatever.
