Wow so ITV are currently three seats up on the BBC. Think I might stick with them for a while.


ITV have been known to declare ahead of the count & in the past have been wrong


Much rather trust the BBC personally.

In terms of NI, ITV are definitely ahead of themselves. The BBC are live at all the NI counts, and so far nothing has been officially declared.

If you happened to just see camera drop whilst on itv bloggers, steadycam actually broke whilst on air! Great save by cameraman though

Hmmm... When Chris Ship did a talk at my uni a few month back he said that ITV staff who got results in before anyone else would get bonuses (though it can't be that much for a result they'll get soon enough anyway!) so perhaps these otherwise unreported results are staff just taking well educated guesses and praying for that bonus!

Sky have just declared a Lib Dem result based on "Sky Sources on the ground".

Looks like tvforum is back then.

Channel 4 are overrunning and don't seem to care.

ITV's Twitter says that the Steadycam broke while on air before and that why the camera went all haywire and there was that silence as the cameraman saved the day!

And while we've been away . . . a SENSATIONAL result in East Belfast, with First Minister Peter Robinson losing his seat.

Is the site dying out of visitor numbers or sheer coincidence?

Either way, good to have us back. Still, crazy discrepancies between ITV/BBC/Sky.
