Yes, I think it's 00:30 so the BBC's midnight news bulletin isn't included.

Really nice graphics for the Newsbeat debate, an adaption of the hexagon election branding.
Once again Radio 1 looks better than most of BBC TV.

5 until 11 seems strange - don't polls close at 10pm?

Unless they've got UK time and GMT mixed up


5am here is midnight Eastern Standard Time.

I suspect those are a James Mobbs production.

I think CNNI usually carry on with coverage until 7am on polling day

That was due to be hosted by Jo Coburn, who I'm not familar with at all.


Daily Politics presenter, ex Breakfast political correspondent. Would imagine she would have been a pretty safe pair of hands on something like this.

Also picked up the Laura Kuennsburg 'social media' role in the Friday afternoon part of the 2015 general election coverage

EXIT Poll, How is this going to work this time? Last time there were roughly right but it came down to 1000 Vote in 10 areas which could have swung either way. Will it just be another Straight exit poll Or will there do a 1992 and say it could go margin of error?

Does anyone know if the BBC 10pm news will be broadcast from the Election studo in Elstree tomorrow?

Whilst opinion pollsters should hang their heads in shame Prof. John Curtice has been the hero of the past 2 general elections. I have no doubt his exit poll will be far more accurate than any opinion poll has been.

Your aboulate right, I just wonder how he going to play this, I think there will be Margin that no one can predict. I do wonder what seats the exit poll decide to visit?

Yes, Chris Cook, Studio Director said it would on twitter.

I completely understand Tom Bradby will be busy presenting the ITV Election Night Coverage but rather surprised he hasn't appeared at all this week. He was initially scheduled for Monday night. Raged Omaar has done a good job presenting but surprised Tom has not done any at all.

I'm pretty sure Rageh Omaar wasn't that angry about covering. Wink
