EU Referendum

It was a simulcast with Radio 1. Presumably it was on their website also.

Well, I missed this. Sky News are doing another live programme with Faisal Islam, this time with Jeremy Corbyn, on 20 June

(Was apparently announced around about the 8 June but only just saw it on a TV ad!)

It appears That's Manchester aired BBC Radio Manchester's EU ref debate.

Couple of referendum-based schedule changes for BBC One. First of all the News at 10 has been given an extra 5 minutes for this and next week. And, more significantly, there's been an addition on Friday 24th at 7pm, an hour of analysis with Nick Robinson.

This means that The One Show from Glastonbury has once again been bumped over to BBC Two (normally it's Andy Murray that does that!).

Though Brexit has been quite a big story in the news over here (big enough for TV3 to run a one-off special documentary during the week), none of the Irish channels are running much in the way of extra programming to cover the result, with RTE being limited to a "Brexit News Special" at 9:00am on Friday morning. UTV Ireland appear to be taking the ITN News Special at 9:25am, though that may be a listings error (it wouldn't be the first time) as its not listed on their website. (It's quite normal for RTE to run a results programme for UK general elections, incidentally, so it's strange they're doing hardly nothing for this).

There is a bbc alba eu speical today on bbc two scotland, a repeat from yesterday.

Have C5 done anything outside of news in the lead up to the referendum - can't say I've spotted anything in the schedule, not even a When Europeans Make You Laugh Out Loud (on benefits).

The Great Debate on the BBC airs at 8pm on Tuesday - that'll either work very well or very very badly I suspect. C4 have "The Final Debate" on Wednesday with Jeremy Paxman.

I think most of Ch5 stuff is within the Wright stuff.

I suspect c5 under dirty Desmond would have had nigel farage quizzed live in jaywick, titled "EU referendum by the sea, on benefits"

I see Sky News are advertising their referendum results service as starting even earlier than BBC and ITV, at 9.30pm on Thursday.

That seems unnecessarily early. There will be nothing to discuss, other than random poll results, until about midnight, so even the BBC's early march at 9:55 looked just tactical to snatch a larger audience from programmes finishing on ITV and expecting BBC NaT.

Sky always start their election night programmes at 9pm, so this is a comparatively late start for them.
