BBC/ITV/Sky Elections Coverage

Steve Baker basically having a meltdown live on the BBC is quite something!

It's curious when you consider that Studio B's graphics are normally silk smooth - makes me think it's a totally different engine.

Was quite a nice pan across of the ITV newsroom studio, reminiscent of the old days.

I understand that S4C is doing their own thing, even if they are produced by BBC Cymru, but the logo just makes their election coverage named as "ETHOLIAD X"

Seems to have been little advertised but there are multiple feeds of counts up on iPlayer, the various national programmes, a data feed and a live feed of the projections on Broadcasting House.

I much prefer what the BBC have done this year to what they did in 2019. Their AR isn't as impressive as Sky's, but a million times better than the fake atrium from 5 years ago.

From the studios of ITN, the Early Evening News, with John Suchet

It looks like we're actually getting a completely different formula this time.

In the past you had your single anchor (Dimbleby / He huw shall not be named), plus a 'heavyweight interviewer' (Paxman / Neil) sat somewhere else in the studio.

This year, it seems they have collapsed those two roles and made it double headed. Which makes sense given Laura's relative inexperience as an anchor and Clive's relative inexperience in the Westminster arena. Together it seems to work so far.

I feel a bit for Chris Mason - he's not had a lot of air time so far. In 2019 there was a lot more back and forth between Huw and Laura.

This looks pretty good doesn’t it…

   

Wonder if there’ll be any breaks for the news on the BBC, and if so will they be from Studio E?

Volunteering. It's #GoodForYou!

ITV Wales' Sion Jenkins, who does present some of ITV Wales' S4C current affairs programmes, is a surprise as one of their reporters.

The S4C graphics appear to be in 50fps, unlike the BBC's (going by Sky rather than the YouTube stream)
