This year ITV2 is also doing live coverage and 11.00pm highlights programmes.  I haven&#8217;t yet caught one of their highlights shows, but hopefully they&#8217;ll be similar to the old Channel 4 ones (it&#8217;s the same presentation team) since they did a better job of editing the day&#8217;s highlights down, showing major incidents from earlier in the day and so on.
