Look at all the good stuff they had ready at Reagan's passing. The viewers (and critics) are used to that and would be very critical if it weren't there.

DA, I agree that there should be things ready to go as far as obits, tributes etc that are there in the studio when the time comes. That makes perfect sense. I'm talking about people openly discussing "when so and so dies", "so and so's health is failing rapidly" etc. It's just tacky and mean.
