That's a very strong line up for C4 though a shame to lose a non-news based approach to the night.

Is there really an audience for a non-news approach to a news event though? I’ve never really seen the point.

If you’re interested in the election, you probably want all the latest updates, analysis and up to the minute developments. If you’re not interested in it, you probably don’t want to watch an entertainment programme based around it.

As someone who’s interested in the election, the C4 plans for this year sound quite appealing to me, especially as the BBC will have a new and untested line-up.
