I am annoyed that the BBC are only mentioning their own exit polls, whereas Sky and I think ITN are mentioning all 3.
The Sky exit polls were the most accurate last time.
They will change during the night.
I like that Sky News desk, very clever.

Yes but only Sky were prepared with the graphics.
ITV not at all prepared.
BBC had a small graphic and about 1 min after put up graphics.
Kay Burley was excellent with the annoucement of turnout calling.
also the Breaking News about polling stations shootings was on Sky before the others.



i dont believe you can check all the channels as quickly as you make out!!!!!!!!

I think ITV should have broadcast in Widescreen - they have obviously spent a lot on their graphics and VR, so why not show it off in 16:9?? 4:3 does not do it justice IMHO!

I think ITV's coverage seems much more pacey than previous years. BBC doing more studio based interviews.

No, 1 Sky dish that is obviously tuned to Sky News.
then 2 portables one with BBC and other ITV.

ITV coverage has been 3rd for the first hour (second hour for Sky).

BBC have been okish but too many interviews and not enough attention on results.
Sky has been best with the graphics and coverage IMO, faster than others and more OB focused.
Especially like the fact that the anchors are in the main areas.
Good coverage from all so far but I am most dissapointed by ITV because of the the slow pace.
The V on the BBC graphics is getting on my nerves now and it is too slow, not enough with Peter Snow.
Sky have zipped between various presenters, good coverage from all so far.

I can't believe you think ITV has a slow pace, they've been around many more outside broadcasts, quicker result, more stats than the BBC who have got stuck into a rut of studio based interviews. Now they've got Fiona Bruce doing interviews with celebrities !
