Oh, just to note that CNNI are still running with near continuous coverage. Becky Anderson was anchoring until 3am, now its Jonathan Mann. Richard Quest still going as well with his cardboard chart complete with red and blue stickers.
EDIT: Stand corrected - Becky still going as well.
Meanwhile, can anyone lend me some coffee as I've run out.
For those who are interested - that recount in Fermanagh & South Tyrone now has the Sinn Fein candidate Michelle Gildernew just 2 votes ahead of the Unionist unity candidate Rodney Connor . . . another recount underway.
I'm surprised nobody has commented on the BBC ALBA coverage. You have 28 minutes to take a look before I take it off the air.
I caught it out of sheer noseyness earlier wondering wheter BBC ALBA were doing anything. I know it's just a camera in the BBC Radio Nan Gaidheal studio but couldn't they have let people know on the Sky EPG rather than just listing "Alba Today" as usual? Out of interest, was this from Glasgow, Inverness or Stornoway? Why does the audio continue after 4am but the picture not? What does a camera with noone operating cost so why cut it off? Also, does BBC Scotland not have a public service remit to broadcast a TV election programme in Gaelic? BBC Cymru Wales manages to produce an english language programme for BBC One Wales and a welsh language programme for S4C from equally impressive studios (far better than the BBC Scotland effort on TV by the way) so why not up here?
ITV have taken their second commercial break - one hour after the first. I don't think they have done this in previous election programmes, so why this time round?
I imagine that BBC1 NI had expected to have handed back to network by now . . . there are only 2 remaining seats to be declared in Northern Ireland, one of which was delayed by a bomb outside the count centre; the other currently in its third recount.

The pictures came from Stornoway and the graphics were added in Glasgow. The visual element ended at 4am because that's when it was planned to end. The graphics facility becomes unavailable after that time, and the RnG programme is due to end shortly. Radio nan Gaidheal sound always accompanies the sustaining graphics which is why the audio continues.
The full-scale BBC ALBA Election Programme (from Studio A in PQ) is tomorrow night from 5.30 - 7.30.
