As well as the BBC Ten OClock News being extended, From 18th April, the late ITV News is also being extended to run until 11.10pm, I expect this will be every weekday until the election.
There's also some extra editions of Jonathan Dimbleby and special regional programmes scheduled in the 11.10pm slot as well
For those interested in such things, BBC Parliament goes into Election 2005 mode on Monday, if they use the same format they used in 2001, might be some interesting things happening during the intervals.
God roll on a month's time when this is all over - although i'll be intrigued to see what the BBC and ITV Election studios are going to look like - anybody got any idea yet? Insider information....
For the next few weeks, BBC News have retitled some of their reporters as "Campaign Correspondents":
Labour - Mark Simpson
Conservatives - Guto Harri
Lib Dems - Reeta Chakrabarti
I really hope that Sky's new smaller election graphics, not the ones captured above, but the ones with Key Points and e-mails etc, are the way Sky are going to take it when the channel is relaunched.
They look much more clean and proffesional. I guess the election gives them chance to experiment a bit, and work out how they are going to do things once the channel has changed to widescreen.

The election email graphics look nice, but the effect is rather migraine-inducing when you have the newswall graphics swirling, the email thing rotating and the animating opinion polls at the bottom - all at once. It's just too much.
I'm not really suprised that EuroNews wasn't carry Kennedy's speech, but Sky News I am suprised at. Now I think about it, I forgot to capture Sky News Active - that might have had something on it...
