The Sun are saying if the Tories win a majority the aim is for Brexit to be 11pm on New Years Eve. So broadcasters will be preparing one scenario of big news coverage being needed over the holiday. I can’t imagine Graham Norton airing on BBC1 the moment of Brexit.

Can you stop hanging on every word of the tabloids and making a big fuss.

Brexit won’t be NYE!


I don't even think The Sun are claiming it's the aim, they're just stating the earliest possible exit date after the election.

Big Fat Quiz of the Year filmed in Studio D last year on 5th December, Dunno if dates are similar this year or even same studio but worth mentioning.

I'm sure I heard "Electioncast" somewhere on the BBC? Wink Wink

BBC will have a podcast called Electioncast. Me thinks either the BBC or Sky will have to change the name of it’s podcast.

I think BBC are sticking with calling it Brexitcast.

Doubt it. Just looked Dino Sofos' bio on Twitter and it says he's the editor of #Brexitcast and #Electioncast

These year in review type shows may need to film a bit closer to Christmas this year just to cover the biggest political story of the year.

#Electioncast was on 5Live back in 2017. #Brexitcast was born from it I believe. So unless Sky had #Electioncast back in 2017 then I would side with the BBC having the name. But Sky won’t change and both will have a #Electioncast.

I can. This week's Radio Times (that went to press when tomorrow was supposed to be Brexit Day), shows no special coverage on any channel straddling 23:00hrs.

What are you actually expecting them to point a camera at at 23:00hrs on the day it actually happens?
