A bit of a pain for anyone who has said they'll quit their current role after the election, such as Kirsty Wark.

Guess it's also an issue for booking things like OB trucks and other external resources - no doubt there is a working agreement but broadcasters usually like elections and big news events to avoid other big events. Wasn't part of the reason football matches were cancelled in the wake of the Queens death due to the practical availability of OB trucks?

Im actually curious on this also, In previous years the broadcasters have had to bring in so many satellite trucks you saw them coming in from Belgium/France/Holland/Spain etc. I wonder if that will even happen this year with 4G/5G and a way of saving money.
