EU Referendum

Al Jazeera using the term 'Breakaway UK' for the result. Not too keen on that rhyming phrase for such a serious news story.

A very dramatic variation on the BBC News theme closed the extended 10 tonight.

I liked it.

Indeed, haven't heard this one before. Its a slight tweak to the Olympic theme used in 2012

Indeed, the Olympic mix from back in 2012 got an outing again tonight, albeit missing some instruments and percussion to make it sound less upbeat - last time I can remember the 'sadder' mix being used was when the UK finished in Afghanistan, back then I put together this mix to show the Olympic version versus the more stripped back one - olympic mix is left ear, sadder mix is right ear.

It's no worse than Brexit. And seems the potential Netherlands referendum is being dubbed Nexit. Then they'll be Frexit and possibly Swexit.

The Evening News isn't the flagship national bulletin on ITV anymore; News at Ten is.

Back in 2003, the Evening News was extended during the Iraq War but that was in the News at When era - though the half-hearted News at Ten was temporarily replaced with the News at Nine during the War.

The late bulletin that was broadcast from 1999 to 2004 was only 20 minutes long (the Nightly News until 2001 and News at Ten three nights a week until 2004).

A hard couple of days (and probably weeks ahead) for broadcasters, who I would guess the vast majority weren't really expecting the Exit result!

Crazy how David Cameron essentially stepped down today too but there wasn't too much time to really focus on it!

I was also impressed that whilst everyone was talking about Dimbleby Jeremy Vine managed to still present his radio show at 12:00!

Any recording for those who can't access the bulletin?

I wonder how these journalists are able to stay awake for so long. One BBC producer director (I can't remember which but I think he worked with Jeremy Vine) was up for over 30 hours. I imagine it's a rush covering such a story but at the end your going to be dragging.

Also, I never would have noticed this but with some close up shots you could see the male presenters whiskers coming in over night in real time. For me it's just I wake up the next morning and it's there.

Since BBC World News is still doing Brexit coverage I figured I'd post this image from the outside broadcast today at 7:00 BST. I can't believe this got on air. Look at the smudges on the camera lens or prompter.

Wow... CNN Domestic actually used CNNI's titles. Usually, they typically use a shiny-scaremongering version!
