-After [[Elections 2003]] didn't get on air until 9.45pm due to technical problems, and members were pulling trolleys of equipment across campus until 7am the following morning, it was decided that there would be changes to the format of the election results programme in 2004.  It was anticipated that the sort of problems experienced the year before could be made even worse due to the lack of active members at the start of 2003/4.  It was also an ideal time to try something new as so many members had graduated after 2003's programme.

 As a result it was decided to try and anchor the night from YSTV's Goodricke headquarters, with only an OB-style setup taken down to Derwent.  This would mean there wouldn't be such a race against time to dismantle the set in Goodricke and reassemble it in Derwent (and then dump it back in Goodricke until it was put back together sometime after Easter).  It was also decided to re-use the previous year's set and theme tune.  This mean more time could be spent on preparing for the content for the night itself.
