It's the stuff of tinpot dictatorships.
Saying it's the British Broadcasting Corporation as a justification for that level of sycophantic nationalism we would mock the North Koreans for is no justification at all.
BBC1 or 2, simulcast on BBC News would be reasonable.
Canning usual BBC 4 coverage in favour of historical documentaries relevant to his life, but at the same time offering alternative programming to BBC 1, I'd maybe consider reasonable too. There was no justification for a blank screen.
