Local Election Coverage 2018

Of course these elections are in the main only taking place in urban and metropolitan areas, and also on top of that some councils don’t count local results overnight anymore. This means that some of these regional opt outs will have very slim pickings to talk about, especially three times, I imagine most will be ‘what is expected to happen’ talk that could have been pre-recorded.

I'm guessing Millbank for Sky?

It's a by-election where the result is so predictable, you could bet your house on it. Sinn Féin had almost double the amount of votes the next candidate got in 2017 and the people of Northern Ireland don't really like change !

So if you're hoping for opt outs, you'll be disappointed.

The start of the Election 2018 coverage on BBC News just cut off Ben Brown talking while in E.

The start of the coverage on BBC One seemed rather abrupt also.

Carole Walker presented the late Look East (East) bulletin, I wonder if she's sticking around to present the opt-outs?

Nice use of the Sky Sunrise set for the big screen info tonight.

Are Sky using their own Sunrise studio for the results?

Mike Embley presenting the network heads on BBC One.

No, they're using Millbank.

Mike Embley is doing the news updates on the NC tonight. Is he in C?

It looks C to me as well.
