Radio coverage
Radio 4 and Radio Five Live will
lead the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's radio election coverage.
Flagship news programmes will assess election tactics, performances
and manifestos.
Giving listeners even more choice, there will also be extended coverage
on Radio 1 and Radio 2, local and digital
stations.
Radio 4
John Humphrys will present Today
five days a week throughout the campaign, and there will be Saturday
programmes in front of invited audiences.
For the duration of the Election, Today will test the promises and
debate the big questions.
The programme's listeners will for the first time get the chance to
set the campaign agenda.
They will tell the programme which issues matter most to them, and
the programme will take their questions to the politicians.
If they are not satisfied with the answer, Today will ask again. And
again.
There will be a specially extended The World
At One with listeners having the opportunity to question senior
politicians in a daily phone-in.
PM will have regular presenter
Eddie Mair in the studio, while Carolyn Quinn
co-presents from across the country.
Special programming will be part of The
World Tonight, Talking Politics
and The World This Weekend.
For the latter, James Cox will present from the campaign
trail.
Radio 1
Newsbeat will be out and about
talking to young, first-time voters.
Minute Manifestos will give politicians 60 seconds to present their
position on given issues and the three main parties will also answer
to a panel of first-time voters.
Sister network 1Xtra will feature three big Election
debates from different locations nationwide.
