Dermot Murnaghan presenting Sunday Live from Belfast. His profile at Sky News has certainly been raised during the election campaign.
I think he had been underused before, he should've had a bigger role in the post-debate coverage 2 weeks ago, alongside Kay Burley or even instead of her. That would really have annoyed the BBC - not only were they showing Sky News branding everywhere, but they also saw Dermot doing loads of presenting on the other side.
He's doing a great job in Belfast though.
Superb programme with Dermot from Belfast. Pity he was cut off at the end as they cut into the ads at :55 past, looks so poor when they cut off mid sentence to ads.
My GF's a stringer for Sky on the Election, and so yesterday and today has to phone in. The timings basically are that they're considering 12am on the night as 12pm today - so her result, expected at 3am on the night, is 3pm today/yesterday.
Over the three rehearsals they've used different numbers - the first one they gave full results, and on the second/third they just give the winner and allow you to make up realistic numbers for each candidate, and go through a few different "scripts" for if the stringer has the full results or not.
