UTV are so excited about their election coverage they've added more hours to the day to broadcast it:
Quote:
Presented by Paul Clark and Marc Mallett, the UTV Live Election Specials will begin on Friday at 12.30pm with a one hour preview; followed by a two and a half hour results special at 16pm and half hour updates at 20pm and 22.30pm.
According to the BBC website the AV result is set to be announced at 8pm tomorrow - yet none of the five main channels are carrying it (not checked the variations in the Nations though). ITV would be wise to capitalise on their high approval from last weeks wedding and score a few more brownie points in between Corrie tomorrow and drop the Baboons for the Bafoons instead.
Sky News will be having a Decision Time 2011 programme at 10:30 tonight. It'll be presented by Adam Boulton, with Ruth Barnett "reading out tweets", Martin Stanford "bringing you the picture from across the country", Sky's election analyst Michael Thrasher will be "number crunching and analysing results" and James Matthews, David Crabtree and Katie Stallard reporting from polling stations.
