2015 Election and the Leaders Debates

Do STV usually do their own election night coverage?

What's to say they don't hire someone else?

Not often, but , Yes this time. Hopeful it will take stuff from ITV to help pad it out..

What will RTE do? In previous years they used the BBC Sport set in TC5

The fact that Marc Mallet tweeted it , it is pretty much a given he will be presenting it like 2010 therefore produced in house.

Round 2 in Scotland, and its getting more heated and grumpy, and the UKIP MEP in the debate is doing a grand job

It seems this has been one of the big talking points, I never saw it. what time did it happen at?

They showed a clip of on the Ten O'Clock News; I think it happened before the programme started.

So the format for Thursday's BBC Opposition Leaders debate is a 90min 5 way set piece, and then crucially in a separate 30min programme the Government parties response albeit not from Cameron and Clegg. Many expected the two to run together in the same wrapper, this isn't going to be the case.

Quite liking the set + lighting design for tonight's BBC debate ...

Bloomberg's branding is strikingly similar to the BBC's.

Is Bloomberg HD only on sky?

Also it has floor map, so watch out for that.
