The channel gave a very brief mention of the renaming at the end of its bulletin, following an unrelated story about immigration protests. It incorrectly referred to Dolly Parton as 'late' and 'died last month', which is not accurate in reality but according to this transcript it is. The channel did not provide any additional context, focusing only on the renaming and her death.
