Based on the FT projection - Labour should pass the 325 count at about 1pm in Australia; though it could be sooner.

Any Australian network’s have plans?

SBS may take a few hours of the BBC coverage like they have done before.

ABC News Channel will probably have extended coverage in it’s normal bulletins, however, won’t have Antony Greene available as he had a holiday booked in prior to it being called (he was probably expecting the Conservatives to hold out till November).

Just set 100 consecutive alarms, and sleep in your studio, and you’ll be fine :wink:

Hate to say it, but it’s probably not impactful enough for the Australian networks to provide rolling coverage. Sky might just take their Uk feed for extended periods.

Casey Briggs is in Europe so maybe he’s bound for London?

Probably. They have sent Antony to London a few times.

So far the only coverage in Australia will be from BBC News and Sky News UK on Foxtel and Flash.

ABC News will probably have extensive updates during the day on the news channel, and have reportedly sent Casey Briggs to London (Antony Green is on a holiday booked prior to the election being called early).

For radio, BBC Radio 4 will have rolling coverage (via BBC Sounds), and the BBC World Service will have extensive coverage mixed with rest of the days global news (via BBC Sounds and SBS Radio).

Don’t forget CNN! They’re doing full coverage from London with Richard Quest :smiling_imp: whom I love but accept may be an acquired taste for others :grin:
