[Channel 4 has hired The News Agents’
Emily Maitlis to present its general election
results coverage alongside the
Rest Is Politics’ Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart.
Maitlis, who was a regular face on
the BBC’s results coverage,
will co-host the programme with long-term
Channel 4 News presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy.
Channel 4’s early announcement of its
presenting lineup comes as broadcasters try
to second-guess when an election – which
must be before next January – will be held.
The broadcaster is also hoping to create
a buzz around its show by capitalising on the
increasingly influential reach of two
political podcasts which had not been
launched at the time of the last
general election.]
