Election Night 2005

I've said before that I like to keep an open mind and don't really like to limit myself to defending and praising one channel over an other. I've been impressed by aspects of all coverage, though I'm most comfortable with BBC Two Scotland (the UK national programme).

However, it would seem that some forumers only like coverage from one source. I would suggest that they simply watch that channel and not be quite so petty about small technical problems any broadcaster is experiencing. If you don't like 'the other side' why are you watching it, eagerly awaiting another flaw? Maybe it's just me, but it seems to make no sense.

Sky Wins on the Most Accessible Info
ITV Has the Niceset Graphics
BBC has the Biggest Studio

Sky News' Soccer Saturday style is a nice variation on what has happened in previous years. Election's are very akin to the Saturday score shows. It may be slightly information overload but I do think it works.

Sky Prediction - LAB Majority: 80, Conservatives under 200 seats.

David Dimbleby chickend out of - Na h-Eileanan an Iar - he said Western Isles the old name of the constituency

His younger sibling decided not to attempt it either...

Every time there is a regional opt-out for the North West on BBC One, the sound takes a massive dip. It's getting very annoying.

The Ticker in the Studio on Sky has a use!!!

Sky about to take second ad break of 30secs, probably to give everyone a chance of a quick drink.

He's actually been pronouncing it perfectly all night! At least the BBC have labelled the constituency properly in their graphics!

... are other English regions opting out as per South West where the only opt is a caption over the BBC Eng/NI reduced from 16:9 to 14:9?

Yes.
