I do wish people would stop using Wikipedia as a source of news...

Hopefully they will be able to use ITV News reporters across the country. I presume that Tom Bradby & Julie Etchingham will return on screen at 9:25.

Quote:
On the morning after polling day, Good Morning Britain will bring the first news of the night’s dramatic events to the nation as it wakes up. Anchored from the Good Morning Britain studio, the programme will be fastest to air with the key live results from around the country, supported by a team of ITV News correspondents, reporting history as it happens.

There will be informed analysis from Britain’s top experts; commentary from political sparring partners, Edwina Currie and Oona King; three former spin doctors, who really know what goes on behind the closed doors of Westminster, will unravel the substance from the spin; Good Morning Britain’s panel of ‘floating voter mums’ will finally reveal which way they voted; and there’ll be further insight from respected political pundits, Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire.

Vital to the outcome of the election will be Scotland - Lorraine Kelly will be live from Govan in Glasgow, just a stone’s throw from where she was born. She’ll be joined by the key Scottish political figures, who could play a major role in the next government.

ITV News will be back on air after Good Morning Britain throughout the morning of May 8th, with a special extended programme presented by Alastair Stewart.

Stewart will report on the key developments and reaction to the results of the General Election 2015. He will be joined by leading politicians and key reporters from across the country – alongside experts such as Colin Rallings from Plymouth University and Constitutional Historian Vernon Bogdanor. ITV’s top journalists will analyse how the nation has voted and who will be the next occupant of Number Ten.

you would presume they would use ITV News reporters, they did for Scotland Decides so no reason why they shouldn't for the Election

No, there are no sources cited.

I don't know how others took to yesterday's edition but for me Kate, Piers and Ranvir worked well together. Kate seemed to take Piers' humour and digs better than Susanna did. He also had a rapport with Sean though I'm sure that Sean wanted him to stop touching the FA Cup and shut up however.

Piers still seemed to struggle a bit to change course between items (ala This Morning/The One Show style) going from talk of the election debate to an item on a New York fashion show - an odd item for the first half an hour imo.

I was dubious with his announcement for the week yet I've found myself watching more of the programme than most days - however I am not a housewife with kids so that will not go down well with ITV bosses.

I much prefer it when Kate is not involved. I just find her irritating. She has to laugh at everything and make silly comments. I just want to be informed in the morning. I'll be glad when Charlotte returns and we get back to the proper presenting line up.

I'd agree with that. Viewers must connect with her though for her to continue on ITV Breakfast after 15 years. Ranvir is knowledgable, informative and comes across well. It's a shame that Matt Barbet didn't carry over to GMB.

On a completely different note - this happened to the bottom left window screen where the image became blurry/lost focus and had a timer and ITV Election appear.

I wonder if it is to brand the windows in a similar way to the in studio glass doors. It's odd that they frost up the view but leave that strip clear, unless the window view is to change.
