Well if his style is the one we have on News at Ten, then god no. He's a much better reporter than presenter. I know ITV News wanted something completely different to what BBC offers at 10, and they sure as hell got that with Tom.

Tuesday 7th June the Q&A on ITV, with David and Nigel. Then two days later a debate on ITV.
Sky News will have two EU live programmes. 2nd June will see Faizal Islam interview David Cameron for Remain and at a later date, Michael Gove for Vote Leave.
Might as well get the ball rolling: Kay obviously in favour of Cameron, Kay wasn't being fair, Faisal's tone was for leave, Why didn't Faisal press him on the issue, obvious Murdoch involvement, where is Adam Boulton?
I think that covers the complaints.
BBC will also be doing something I'm sure Sky said earlier although nothing is cemented at the moment.

From what I understand there will only be 12 regional declarations around the UK so won't quite be a sat truck fest as usual, Unless I've misunderstood the procedures.

According to the Guardian you're right about there being 12 different "regional collation centres" but apparently the results will be declared individually by each of the 380 local authorities (plus Northern Ireland and Gibraltar) as soon as they are known.
Oh dear. I was not a fan of individual results in the Scottish referendum. It enabled the media to create a 'yes/no' map of Scotland, suggesting which regions supported independence and which didn't. This is really misleading as it's a national vote, so every vote on both sides counts. We will now inevitably get lines from so-called experts such as 'the West Midlands clearly voted to leave, while Scotland wishes to remain'.

Except that sort of analysis is perfectly correct (and very interesting to compare in Scotland). As long as there's a running tally, and there's a way of showing the magnitude of the difference between the two options in each area, and perhaps a skewed map showing the importance of each area, then I think it works.
