Harking back to 1997 and 2001 then ITV News. Maybe they should have ditched their virtual set and like 1997/2001 build a real one in the atrium and use the virtual set for election graphics.

Sky News are operating fully from their new news centre? I don't watch Sky News often, I know they moved into their new studios. The glass box is hideous studio.

I might be wrong - but isn't this a smaller version of the 'Election Centre' the BBC have built this time? I'm sure in 2015 the second floor with the interview area was much higher. This time the interview area looks to just be above floor level?

Same set... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-32592297

What are you going on about? "Harking back" to 1997? You haven't even seen what they've got planned yet - so why don't you reserve that sort of judgement until tomorrow night? All I can say is that they are using both their VR set up in Studio 1 as the main base for the night as well as a set in the atrium for other presentation elements.

Huw Edwards presents the News at Ten bulletin from the BBC Election Centre. Looks good.

A proper close to the bulletin too (think they did that 2 years ago as well).

I'd hope so considering they used it last time.

I like this from Guardian...

'Sky cameras will be live at an “unprecedented” 300 constituencies, the broadcaster boasts, so if watching little pieces of paper being piled up on tables is your thing, you know where to turn.'

How does 300 constituencies translate into count locations?

Maybe these 300 'Sky Cameras' are mobile phone cameras - all those sim cards the bought a while back Smile

I don't necessarily think they're mobile phone cameras, but may be connected over 4G? The way Sky manages to be at so many seats is that at a fair few it recruits people (usually media students etc) to man a camera for them on election night - they're given all the kit to use and paid for their time and then are responsible for just manning that camera at the count for the night.

A one night intern then Very Happy I cant imagine the dirty digger shelling out too much on proper staff - rather a few quid to media students hoping to put it on the CV.

I missed this tonight as I was watching Kenneth Williams on BBC FOUR.

I found videos on TV Newsroom Youtube Channel on BBC News at 10 intro & close from Elstree.
