ITV won with regard to ALL reviews so far. See Guardian above, and here is another from the Press Gazette.

Will be frustrating that once again the BBC will come out on top (and with a clear majority) when Dimblebly is clearly beyond his best, they're slow with the results and frankly bigger isn't always better when it comes to the studio.
Sky seems to have been highly regarded (I didn't see much), whilst as always ITV did a great job and Tom Bradby thrives on election night IMO - but I do think they really missed having a second or even third person in the studio to do the virtual graphics and the soft set interviews. It was a bit awkward at times having Tom move around the studio to do another job.
C4 not quite getting it right with the Alternative Election I think - running ads immediately puts it behind the ad-free ITV and Sky News coverage, while Paxman is just annoying now. I really like the idea of a more entertainment based alternative so they probably went too much the other way with a fairly strong panel of politicians and experts, but losing that wouldn't help either. They could have done with continuing beyond 6am given the result too.
