Is the bulletin being produced and output from Salford though or is it operating like Marr when the news reader is in Salford and everything done via London?
Interesting that Annabel Tiffin is presenting news summaries from Salford - I wonder why the BBC aren't using a London based presenter?

Gave up on Sky coverage but from what I did see... bafflingly poor.
Presumably there is a PA feed they could plug into, and not an enormous amount of work to feed that into their existing elections set up.
They seem to have sent cameras and live facilities to every count, yet not actually gone live to any of them to have the results declared.
Beth Rigby and Lewis Goodall billed as being part of the coverage - haven’t seen either of them.
Embarrassing.

Yes, I've not heard much from Beth, which is a shame as she's brill. I saw Adam interviewing someone in Cardiff via Skype earlier - what on earth is Sky's fascination with interviewing everybody via Skype lately? I understand... it's easier, but it just looks/sounds awful. As you say, a poor, poor show from Sky tonight.

Skype = free(ish)
Sky clearly having problems. They have now given up with their ticker which Adam Boulton has been pointing at all night.
Wonder if they have had some sort of technical issue. I know there wasn’t much time to prepare for these elections but even so, it’s really dreadfully poor. Full credit to the BBC for pulling out all the stops.

I think that's down to them having to use their full names, the Brexit Party candidate goes by Alex otherwise.

Cameraman in the south east obviously didn’t realise he was on air
Also, I can’t believe the Brexit and Green candidates both had the same name!
