I wonder what Channel 4's election night programme is going to show between 9 and 10pm tonight, because surely they won't be able to have The Last Leg and Gogglebox teams giving their opinions, while the polls are still open?

It may well be fairly obvious when they go on air, but anyone know where Channel 4's studio will be?

It occurred to me today that in 2010, TV Centre was home to four election programmes (BBC TV, Radio, RTE and Channel 4), which must have made sharing pundits fairly easy - and Osterley was probably only 20 minutes in a cab at that time of night. Now there's Elstree for TV and BH for radio, as well as wherever the other two broadcasters have gone - are we going to be getting a lot more down-the-lines?

Adam Hills was on Paul O'Grady yesterday and, as good as said, the 1st hour is pretty pointless because they can't say anything.

One of the more interesting and unique shows of the night.... but has gotten zero promotion is More4's 'The Vote'. A 95min live play set in a polling station starting at 8:25. IMO this really should have been on C4 with the 'Alternative Election Night' following at 10.

Paxman is having more fun than he's ever had. Gone truly native.

Is anybody here going to be capping the Sky Arts coverage? Would be really interested to see it, but otherwise occupied tonight (and am not a subscriber either, although was tempted to get Now TV to see this programme).

I've moved some ITV News posts to a dedicated election thread, leaving this for the other non-BBC broadcasters.

He's doing a great job so far but surely he will have run out of things to say by 8am! I guess Martin Stanford will be along at some stage.

Anyone know where the RTE news election studio in London is? Looks quite like the Daily Politics studio in Millbank.
