The not-Scotland BBC programme hasn't flagged up the fact that it's not being broadcast in Scotland, though I guess you could read between the lines that it's not the Scottish programme - the non-Scottish presenter and many non-Scots on the panel, Huw's introduction to "where we are" with the external view of the BBC Scotland HQ at Pacific Quay in Glasgow. But perhaps they should explicitly say so.
The STV programme appears to be being broadcast as-is on the ITV network across the UK.
The set of the BBC National programme is very reminiscent of the sets of ITN's Election Night programmes of the late 90s/early 2000s when they staged them in the atrium of Grays Inn Road.
It's not so much a set as the open-plan area of the Pacific Quay. It's quite good as a studio space, though - it's been used before for Newsnight Scotland and by-election coverage.

Technicality that it still broadcasted in Scotland on BBC News Channel.
Exit polls suggest comfortable victory for No, more comfortable than the recent polls.
Who are these exit polls asking though? there has been a record turn out I doubt they have polled enough people to get a definite answer.
Id say its a 50:50 chance that they have it right:D, as in the polls are just a chance of being right, I wont believe them, I will wait till the true result comes in!
There is a YouGov poll released at 22.30 which says 54% NO 46% YES.
Interesting that Sky News are quoting it freely, while the BBC seem to be avoiding it like the plague.

Thats wise of the BBC it could be wrong and then they would get stick!
So these are just the other shabby polls they did on a small amount of people yesterday?
2,000 people is not a small sample for polling and it's asking people how they actually voted not how they intend to vote so it's more significant than a normal poll.

That's not an exit poll. They re-polled their panel. There's lot of questions about how robust their methodology is - not least because it's internet based.
The BBC in Scotland have mentioned it several times.
Any prediction done today is no more accurate than one done yesterday.
The reason is because the pollsters must extrapolate from a small sample, and it's that extrapolation that is dodgy because this is a unique situation.

Edit: Actually technically not an 'Exit Poll' but a poll of 2,000 people who have voted found 54-46 victory for No.
Huw Edwards stated but 15 minutes ago that there were no 'Exit Polls' as there was no way that it could be accurate.
Immediately You Gov comes up with a 'sort of' Exit Poll.:p
How will keep this going, talking about a result that they don't know, and that they won't know for at least another 6 hours ........ it's going to be a long night!! :D

Not true because now they are asking people how they actually voted rather than how they intend to vote.
And 2,000 people is not a small sample for polling.

True, see my edit above.

Huw Edwards looked uneasy about having absolutely nothing really to talk about for the next few hours and Jeremy Vine was as annoying as ever!!
Just waffle & opinion

Also ANY channels with coverage that don't have an annoying ticker on screen ?

Huw Edwards is far better than Dimbers, and he's Welsh.
All Celts together Scotland ........ I hope you stay with us. ;-):(
