Today is No News Day for BBC.

How can there be No News?!
It’s unthinkable and impossible for modern society.
On Apr 18, 1930, the BBC’s news announcer said, “There is no news,” because he had finished reading everything he was supposed to read from the script — BBC had no news. Then piano music followed for the rest of the 15-minute program.
