A factor the media will have to consider is that of podcasts. As expected, podcasts have gone from being amateur and shonky to being mass-media mass-produced full of celebs and former MPs. They were not supposed to turn into that (much like the Internet wasn't supposed to turn as horrendous as it has).
C4 gave me the first warnings that it was being produced as a podcast, not TV. The BBC was *awful*.
Gary Lineker has been thrown into focus for being Mr Approachable on MOTD and Mr Sweary on his podcast. You can't always ride both horses. I wonder what will happen as media continues to develop.

ITN have put up a montage of 1997 Cabinet members losing - which includes the whole of the Mellor incident including the bit where he provokes his opponents. Not seen this before.

How many results were shown on the Beeb I believe BBC Wales showed almost every Welsh declaration live. But agreed that UK-wide coverage was awful across the board.

Stretching the thread title a bit to include a televised stream of Times Radio's election night show.

I guess the BBC overage of the 2019 general election will never now never be repeated, nor will clips of the exit poll etc.

Cheeky switch to other channels around 4:01.37. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Maybe the vicar was a tad boring. "Difficult thing for us to do" at 5:40.28. Certainly was — showing the Enfield Southgate result in full before it was declared. How did they pull that off? The only footage of Tony Newton losing his seat in Braintree is on this show, because I remember watching it, but regrettably it must have been after 5:19am when this video switches to a few hours later. I have the full video somewhere.

... — showing the Enfield Southgate result in full before it was declared. How did they pull that off? They must have been told the numbers by someone leaking it to them from the count. It was not "illegal" (as someone said sotto voce) to broadcast the numbers before it was officially declared, but certainly unprofessional and reckless for them to do so without it being properly confirmed.

The RO will always share the figures with the candidates and agents prior to making the formal declaration, and it's not always possible to screen the unofficial result from any of the others at the count. And it's helpful to give them to the broadcaters just in case the noise of the cheers drowns out the numbers. If you watch the BBC coverage of the 1964 general election when the Smethwick result is given, you notice the Mayor announces Peter Griffiths's vote as "Sixteen thousand - -" then pauses because of the cheering from Griffiths supporters. The BBC reporter then chimes in with "Sixteen thousand, six hundred and ninety!".

The BBC reporter then chimes in with "Sixteen thousand, six hundred and ninety!". Returning Officers are not obliged to admit the media to election counts - and have not always done so. I recall the Islington North by election of late October 1969 when Michael O'Halloran was elected following the death of Gerry Reynolds but the press and broadcasters were not admitted for the declaration.
