Ofcom reopens tomorrow at 9am

Tuned into Euronews earlier and noticed them summarising manifesto pledges.

Further investigation suggests that neither France 24 nor Euronews are licensed by Ofcom

I think you'll find they are. They wouldn't be on the Sky EPG otherwise.

Just put on Euronews (via Zattoo Switzerland) and they're doing the same again.

Is that definitely right? I can't see them in this list http://static.ofcom.org.uk/static/radiolicensing/html/tv/cs/cabandsat-main.htm and it also looks like several foreign stations are there so presumably this does happen.

IIRC you need an ofcom licence to uplink from the UK but not to broadcast?

I do like how the election closing shots for each News at 10 have become even more elaborate as the years have gone on....
At this rate, they'll have pyrotechnics by the time we reach the next one in 2022!

Good luck to Skygeek and everybody else working on the election tonight. Hope everything goes well without any hitches!

Looking forward to the results.

Fascinating video comparing the 1987 general election to 2017 with plenty of archive BBC and ITN footage:

Very un-Sky like titles for the TOTH, very nice nonetheless. Nice to see the decision time music back.

Very little delay to the anchors on Sky as they jumped between the OBs, Very smooth
