I agree it was great in the atrium, but I imagine Julie wil have a more prominent role than dealing with the graphics. Think it's been Alastair the last few times, but as he's hosting that rules him out. I imagine Mark Austin wil do something more prominent, so not quite sure who might do that side of things for ITV - Katie Derham or James Mates perhaps.
I can't see C4 doing anything. If they did though, rather than doing a straight news programme I'd rather see them do some alternative election night coverage, with the results playing second fiddle to some pointless entertainment.
Also think it's a shame C4 were not in the frame for any of the debates. I've no interest really in the three planned, but if Jon Snow (or Paxman) was anchoring one I'd be much more likely to watch.
Julie Etchingham and Mary Nightingale are also to feature as part of ITN's coverage. I'd put my bets on Julie anchoring the virtual parliament, swingometer stuff.
I'd hate to see ITN stay in the main news studio for this. There was never a better year when they built their election studio in the atrium.

Wouldn't be surprised if Channel 4 did an election night. First time in a long time but it's the first time in a long time we've had a tight election.
