The campaign coverage
Across the UK
The 成人快手 will be touring the country and hearing from constituents across
the nation.
Serving outlets across 成人快手 News 24, Radio
Five Live, Radio 4 and the Six O'Clock
News, the 成人快手's official election bus will be a focal point
for public debate, participation and information.
The 成人快手 will also listen to constituents' views on 成人快手 TWO's The
Election Roadshow.
Presented by Sally Magnusson, the programme will question
the political decision makers and then ask viewers for their feedback.
In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the 成人快手 will be complementing
network coverage of the General Election in their nations on TV, radio
and online.
Programmes including 成人快手 Wales' Dragon's
Eye and Wales Today, Newsnight
Scotland and 成人快手 ONE Northern Ireland's Let's
Talk will reflect national issues, while also focusing on what
matters to voters on a local level.
Through new initiatives such as Groundswell - live broadcasts of public
meetings - and local Question Time style sessions in local radio stations,
the 成人快手 will bring local constituents face-to-face with their candidates
- asking the questions they want answered, on issues like school closures,
hospital beds and asylum seekers.
Election features include 成人快手 Southern Counties Radio
following the opinions of a panel of floating voters and an election
soap opera at 成人快手 Radio Leicester.
For Welsh speakers, S4C and 成人快手 Radio Cymru
will provide full coverage, together with online services in both languages
on 成人快手 Wales Online and 成人快手 Cymru'r Byd.
Continuous and live programming
成人快手 News 24 will be the election channel providing
the fullest coverage throughout the campaign.
The rolling news channel will provide: a nightly slot with Political
Editor, Andrew Marr, analysing the day's events; a
weekly outside broadcast from different cities, as well as roadshow
reports across the country.
There are also Westminster reports fronted by News 24 Chief Political
Correspondent James Landale and his team, and a new
insight series by the 13 Political Editors in the 成人快手 Nations and Regions.
Campaign Talk will replace Straight Talk during the election.
成人快手 Radio Five Live
Making the most of its live facility, Five Live will invite audiences
to take part in many of its election features: John Pienaar
will accompany 18-year-old, first-time voters to party press conferences
to gauge their response to party policies.
Five Live ballot boxes will give listeners a vote on issues they want
discussed, and two young people will have the chance to report on the
campaigns.
There will be regular reports from a house in a marginal seat and a
Rant Line to register comment and concern.
The network will also team up with the Asian Network
and 1Xtra for a series of major debates on location.
Daily TV bulletins
Breakfast News and the Six O'Clock News will report from across the
country taking the regional temperature on key issues.
The One O'Clock News will use the
latest in big screen technology to build an easy-to-see composite of
the issues discussed, and the Ten O'Clock
News will have extended bulletins each night, coming live from
Westminster at key moments in the campaign.
Newsnight's Jeremy Paxman
will question the three main party leaders in a series of special interviews
for 成人快手 ONE on prime time.
The programme will also be extended throughout the campaign, to include
a special evening Saturday edition, featuring guest correspondents and
outside broadcasts from around the country.
Political correspondent David Grossman will assess
the campaigns, Political Editor Martha Kearney will
report from Westminster and Michael Crick, complete
with helicopter, will file his distinctive rapid reaction pieces and
constituency profiles.
In addition, the award-winning Baghdad Blogger Salam Pax,
who memorably covered the Iraqi elections for Newsnight, will make a
film of his impressions of the UK General Election while culture correspondent
Stephen Smith will spend the campaign in a student
house in Nottingham to track the apathy vote.
Panorama, the current affairs flagship,
will include reports on a number of election manifesto issues, including
law and order.
There will be more of both 成人快手 ONE's This
Week and 成人快手 TWO's The Daily Politics.
Fronted by Andrew Neil and Daisy Sampson,
The Daily Politics will broadcast live five days a week.
The programme will feature a number of location reports, including
visits to a prison and a travellers' camp.
Cartoons from the award-winning Aardman Animations (Creature Comforts)
will give a fresh, amusing look to voters' views on This Week.
Doing something different, 成人快手 ONE's The
Politics Show will use a narrowboat to navigate the canals
to report from across the country.
C成人快手's Newsround will cover the key issues
affecting children, engaging them in politics and giving them a platform
for their views.
This will include a chance to vote in the Big Ballot Box; reports on
the Y-Vote, the Hansard mock election for schoolchildren; as well as
explaining how elections work, who the main parties are and what the
results mean.
