BBC Election Night coverage

[TheTecknician]

Who do we think is likely to front this programme? At one time I would have said Huw Edwards but he's now out of the picture. I can't see David Dimbleby doing it again given his age, unless he really wants to. I hope it will be Sophie Raworth or Fiona Bruce, someone who's been round the block a few times. I expect the likes of Jeremy Vine, John Curtice and Nick Eardley will be doing their stuff too.

I've always watched the BBC but C4 is looking more appealing.

I gave up watching BBC News a long time ago due to their impartiality.

C4 News is in a different league altogether, they ask far more probing questions.

Oops, I meant lack of impartiality.

I’m totally gutted we are on holiday - I’ve been waiting 14 years for this!!! Anyone know if you can watch C4 abroad?

"personal beef with John Curtice" 😮

I love John Curtice..

He’s like a twinkly pixie

He really isn’t all the time. 😂

We are planning to sit up and watch the results come in.

I don't want Clive Myrie fronting it - I find him irrationally annoying. Fiona Bruce would do a good job, I think.

I do want to mention my favourite BBC political reporter though - Damian Grammaticus - simply because I love his name!

I'll be watching Sky News. They've got Kay Burley on anchor with Ruth Davison, Trevor Phillips and Beth Rigby commenting.

Ohh that's interesting, @user1471453601 - I have a lot of time for Ruth Davison - I am a woolly Liberal, brought up by socialist parents, and could never vote Tory, but I did respect her.

I suspect we will watch mainly the BBC coverage - as well as being socialists, my parents were vehemently opposed to Commercial Television (commercials - the horror), so I was brought up solely on the BBC coverage - and now I am not good with change, so stick to the BBC for my news.

God, I sound elderly!

C4 here too. Happy to have Emily, with Alastair and Rory.

It's Laura K and Clive M on BBC... now confirmed

Just watching the news and they've just announced Laura K and Clive Myrie on TV and Chris Mason on the radio.

This isn't the question but I like to flick about the channels. It used to be that the BBC would only put up declared and confirmed results. Whereas itv/Sky were predicted results put up as part of statistics. Which is disconcerting.

I am going to watch channel 4

This will be the same. BBC is often latest with news because this is their editorial policy. Sky/ITN will go more on emerging facts that haven’t necessarily been confirmed.

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius I listen to Ruth Davison on the podcast she does with Beth Rigby and Jess Phillips.

like you I would never have voted for her. She's got a potty mouth on the podcast, a woman after my own heart in that respect.

O I like Alaister Campbell and Rory Stewart on their Resr is Politics podcast so I'll definitely be on C4.

I think it will be Sky News for me.

Yes I assumed that it would be the same @Wonkypictureframe but did not have the information.

DH and I might need to watch in different rooms. I can't bear to watch LK but he thinks it will be worth it to watch her suffer. We do both love CM.

My body always wants to go to sleep but my mind insists on knowing what's going on so I end up listening to Radio 4 with headphones on in bed. It was good last time but I can't remember who was on. I can't bear Emily Matlis so will have to miss Rory and Alistair who I enjoy listening to.

Hopefully Bruce and Kuenssberrg so we can see their sour Tory faces all night.

C4 for me but I'm sure I'll channel hop during the advert breaks. Always watched BBC until now

I'd one channel to offer commentary from Ian Hislop. I need a laugh. The guy from politics Joe pairs very well with him as an interviewer.

Also would enjoy hearing what Janey Godley had to say about it after the fact.
