i am reliably informed that major newspapers and news agencies keep text obituaries for statesmen , bussiness tycoons , royalty , sports stars etc etc etc on file and upto date - thus requiring only minuites of work inserting cause of death and activity ofer the preceeding month to have the obit ready to run in the next edition
i do not see why audio / visual media should , or would behave any differently - infact such pree planning would be far easier for a A/V media - as they dont have to locate the interviewees , get a film crew , shoot and edit the takes on a tight deadline
imho - the bbc is simply preparing to have the first and most comprehensive broadcast of a blair tribute when he does die - ready allmost instantly
