The BBC will have Laura Kuenssberg and Clive Myrie leading their election coverage on July 4.
The two news anchors will be at the helm of the general election night TV coverage on BBC network news. They will be joined by BBC political editor Chris Mason from the BBC London studio. On the night, coverage will feature analysis from Reeta Chakrabarti as the results as they come in.
BBC Radio 2 host Jeremy Vine will bring back the famous swingometer as he broadcasts from Cardiff. Kirsty Wark will be reporting from Glasgow and Andrea Catherwood from Belfast. Hosts Laura and Clive will also be joined by the "expert's expert" Professor Sir John Curtice to give his specialist knowledge and insights.
The BBC's key presenters Fiona Bruce, Victoria Derbyshire, Naga Munchetty, Nick Watt, and Alex Forsyth will also get in on the action. They will be among the many famous faces reporting from up and down the country on the night. The following day will see Sophie Raworth and Jon Kay take over.
They will provide updates as the shape of the country’s new political map becomes clearer. Sophie and Jon will be joined by deputy political editor Vicki Young while Christian Fraser will use graphics to demonstrate the new picture of the House of Commons. Nicky Campbell is set to take over extended coverage from Glasgow.
The special coverage will be shown on BBC One in England, BBC Two in Wales and Northern Ireland, and the BBC News channel in Scotland. Dedicated election results programmes on BBC One in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales will be presented by Martin Geissler, Mark Carruthers, and Nick Servini respectively. Anne McAlpine will be hosting a Gaelic language election roundup on BBC ALBA.
After the polls close, the election result will be projected onto the front of the BBC’s London HQ at Old Broadcasting House. CEO of BBC News, Deborah Turness, said: “In this election, we have one thing on our minds above all else – the voters. Throughout the campaign we’ll be giving them the facts and information they need to make up their own minds. We know the way people are consuming news is changing; we’ll have the most comprehensive ever offer across every platform, so we can be where people are.
“And once the ballots are cast, a truly fantastic line-up of journalistic talent, headed by Laura and Clive, will bring voters the results and help make sense of them. We’ve assembled a fresh, dynamic team to bring insight, experience - and perhaps a little wit – to audiences for the whole election night and beyond. It’s incredible to have such breadth and depth of expertise to call upon, up and down the country, when it matters most.”
Rachel Burden and Nick Robinson will take to the radio to host live election coverage on BBC Radio 4 through to the Today programme the following morning. Radio 5 Live will join for a simulcast from midnight with Henry Zeffman, the BBC’s chief political correspondent, who’ll provide extra political analysis.
