Its not getting networked. UTV have it at 8pm. ITV are showing it at 22.40pm. STV are not showing it......


The fact ITV are showing it later does not alter the fact that it is a UTV production on ITV which was the point of my original comment. If STV are opting out that's their own business.

This would be interesting to watch too, hopefully it'll be available on demand afterwards:

POLITICAL: Election Newsroom Live
On: Sky Arts 1 HD
Date: Thursday 7th May 2015 (starting in 13 days)
Time: 21:50 to 8:00 (10 hours and 10 minutes long)

Sky Arts goes behind the scenes at the Sky News studios to offer a unique perspective on what promises to be one of the most unpredictable elections in recent memory.
Stuart and London Lite gave kudos

Dave are also doing an "Election Night Special" (no detailed synopsis) from 22:00 to 23:35.

Interesting that in the (very) provisional schedules ITV will stick with their election coverage longer than BBC1. BBC1's coverage is scheduled to wrap up at 1pm on the Friday, while ITV goes through to 4pm.


DigiGuide shows BBC 1 coverage through to 18:00 (including on BBC 2 while the Cenotaph is covered). Billed as Election coverage until 22:00 on BBC News channel.

Sky 1 simulcasts Sky News 06:00-12:00
Pick TV's 06:00 simulcast is extended until 09:00.

ITV have broadcast different broadcast different episodes of "Tonight"

* STV: SNP
* ITV Wales: Plaid Cymru
* ITV: UKIP

Next week, Tonight will have a 22mins programme look at the other three leaders, and depending on which part of the uk you live will depand who you get along side the greens.

That's OK. ITV's viewers will see some immature people in formalwear arguing in a room and think it's an extended episode of Judge Rinder.

If there's no definitive result, I hear that the backup plan is for Miliband, Cameron, Clegg and Farage to go on Tipping Point.

Surely Ninja Warrior UK is more appropriate?

Later, Jeremy Kyle will be along with his lie detector test.
