|
||
|
||
The BBC, ITV and Sky have all begun making preparations for the coverage,
|
||
which is likely to involve a high level of co-operation between the three
|
||
broadcasters.
|
||
|
||
Stephen Price, a ratings analyst at Broadcast magazine, said: "For the future
|
||
king of England getting married, I'd say at least a billion.
|
||
|
||
"Asia will be piling in with huge numbers, plus most of North America. There's
|
||
a huge sense of being part of something when watching a live event like this -
|
||
a common shared experience that people yearn for."
|
||
|
||
In Britain, the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981
|
||
attracted 28.4 million viewers. Mr Price said that next year broadcasters may
|
||
be able to measure online and mobile audiences.
|
||
|
||
The BBC said yesterday that it was waiting for confirmation that cameras would
|
||
be allowed into the ceremony. "If that is the case there is no doubt the
|
||
wedding will be enjoyed by one of the biggest audiences in history," said a
|
||
spokesman.

|
||
The ITN reporter Tom Bradby yesterday secured the only television interview
|
||
with the couple to mark their engagement. The move will be seen as a snub to
|
||
the BBC's royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell. However, he is likely to
|
||
have a prominent role in the coverage of the wedding itself, alongside David
|
||
Dimbleby and Huw Edwards.
|
||
|
||
On ITV, Alastair Stewart is likely to be principal anchor.
