The evening news programmes will have to be displaced on one of the main channels for one of the biggest news days of the year.
If it goes as expected the main events to cover should be done in time for the first Euro 2024 Quarter Final kicking off at 5pm. It might affect their pick decisions as having both matches the same day, which happens quite often, isn't ideal for squeezing in news coverage, but then a short bulletin between them or the late news off the back of the evening match could reach a pretty big audience.
I would imagine BBC1 and ITV1 will schedule election coverage through to 4pm then adjust the schedules accordingly.
