Elections 2019

Election coverage on BBC World News - with Ros Atkins leading coverage instead of Huw Edwards, which he is featured in the EPG and the continuity ident. The ticker is a little bit weird...

Whoever was typing the graphics up lost count there half way through the East result

More of an effort than Sky News, I've hardly seen any on-screen graphics.

JRM's sister appeared on RTÉ using the BBC footage from Huw in Studio B.

About the RTÉ coverage tonight; it began at 10pm tonight & will finish at 1:10am.

Bryan Dobson is in Studio 3, Miriam O'Callaghan is in the RDS & David McCullough is in the RTÉ Election Centre.

One of the screens behind Huw looks different to the others which I'm finding quite distracting. You can see the LEDs that make up the screen. Is that normal for this studio?

Is that on BBC1 or BBC Scotland?

EDIT: Just noticed the DOG.

A few more grabs of the BBC Scotland Channel output. I'm not actually watching it though - Scotland is one EU electoral region, so the discussion is somewhat boring and dry.

It is yes

And 2009.

It’s been an odd one for the Euros, only Dublin has and will have any counts declared tonight, one of the others (Midlands NW) has already adjourned for the evening and the other, South, is the one with the marathon 23 candidate ballot paper that is proving a nightmare for the count staff and won’t have a first count till 1pm tomorrow.

I’m sticking mostly with the BBC.

Looks good but does seem unnecessary duplication and surely the Nine is more like C4 News - be there tomorrow to provide the analysis and leave the rolling coverage to someone else.


Also I might be wrong but I'm sure info I saw earlier said Scotland don't count until tomorrow morning anyway.

Sky do seem to be struggling a bit tonight - the big screen not showing what it should, results late to appear, the wrong graphics on screen... obviously it's a much smaller operation than a general election, but it's been a bit sloppy.
