I thought Sky News was excellent last night, wasn't hugely convinced by the BBC unfortunately.

STV might have been interesting for the Scottish perspective but it's rather unfortunate SD picture quality was off-putting and graphics weren't great.


STV were just using ITV graphics and were just doing opt out thought the night. dipping into and out of the main ITV show,

Apologies, I hadn't realised STV were only opting out. Every time I switched to STV it was Bernard Ponsonby and co.

Nevertheless, Sky were fantastic. Even if Kay Burley played a major part.

I might be wrong or might have been said but has the BBC EU logo been updated for the result?

They have - it's an L, as well as an arrow pointing towards the blue side. I wonder what we'd have had for Remain?



I like the real version they had in the studio too - I think Dimbleby is imagining what it would be like to hold it:

None of the normal Newsround presenters were available, so they got stand-in presenter Nazia Mogra (from NWT) who sounds more CBBC than the main presenters to present from College Green.

Must echo the comments about Tom Bradby - the ITV News coverage was excellent and it was a shame they had to handover to GMB. However great they kept the graphics consistent throughout and from what I saw of GMB they handled it very well and although it was a shame the ITV News team lost out on the key moments, they handled them very well.

I didn't see much of the BBC coverage other than the opening, a declaration and David Dimblebly embarrassing one of their number crunchers over the number of postal votes. Do agree it's time Huw took over.
