Having an election programme start in daylight -- especially in the light, open-plan Franceinfo studio/newsroom -- gives it such a different feel to our late-night results, doesn't it? It lacks a little theatre, if I may say so!

BFM TV is streaming on YouTube too. Great to see broadcasters doing this nowadays - much easier to watch on smart TVs and mobile devices than website streams.

TF1's intro. Seems they've converted part of their corporate HQ for the programme.

Just a shame that some official streams are like potato-vision (ahem ABC News)

Tiny graphics on TF1. I'm watching in HD on a decent-sized telly and I can barely read some of them.

The position Sky News is broadcasting from seems a little cheap: Adam Boulton sat outside in a restaurant's seating area. The BBC's coverage coming from a rooftop overlooking Paris looks very nice however.

I wonder if the snap General Election has blown the budget a bit?
