I like to see triggered conservative tears more than liberals celebrating. I want to watch Fox News, but I only have NBC and CNN on my TV. I want to see Karl Rove meltdown again.

CNN. I mean that's just how it goes. I like ABC News, I follow their Twitter and their objective. I like the mention of PBS, I may check that out too.



Thought this was interesting.

I like CBS's election night coverage, actually.  I like how they classify states as tossup, edging, leaning, etc.

Likely 75% MSNBC, 25% CNN

I'm a fan of most of the folks on CNN but I can't stand Wolf Blitzer.

If only I can get notifications anytime John King is about to provide Magic Wall analysis

We have a really, really major projection.

I'll start on CNN, but once it becomes clear that it's a Biden victory (inshallah) I'll bring Fox News up on my laptop to watch the meltdown, praying for something like Rove 2012.

I have the distinct feeling that Wolf Blitzer (72) announces his retirement from television on Nov 3 or Nov 4

NBC for the sixth election night in a row, though Lester Holt is a little too subdued for me. If he’s just not getting me pumped up like Brokaw’s baritone or Williams’ sarcasm used to then I’ll switch over to MSNBC while occasionally checking in on CNN to try to figure out why Wolf Blitzer is still on television.

Also, since 2000 I’ve stayed up way past midnight watching the coverage. 2016 was the only night I went to bed before midnight as I had to be at work at 4 AM. Not superstitious, but I’ll be drinking a lot of coffee Tuesday evening since I don’t have anywhere to be on Wednesday.

Used to watch MSNBC loyally, but Maddow's clickbaity-ness has really turned me off, and Brian Williams is fine enough but so dry, so I guess I'll give CNN a shot. Should be livelier, at least

MSNBC lacking Chis Matthews' monologues this year is a point on its favor, however. What an absolute bore.

I'll mostly be on CNN, with some MSNBC as the night progresses. Kornacki and King need their own show together, or to atleast be on the same network.

I'm curious what the Fox Broadcast Network coverage will be. Is it just a simulcast of Fox News? Or do they produce their own show? I've always found it suprising that Fox Broadcast Network doesn't have a nightly news show, a late night show, or a Today-style morning show.

Hopefully FOX does 50 state exit polls like in 2018. CNN has been skipping lots of important races since 2006. That's assuming we get exits at all.

Whichever is the first stream I find on Youtube that is free and not region locked.

If I remember correctly, in both 2016 and 2018 that was NBC

Are there no "free" TV stations in the US that you can catch just with an antenna?

Slightly OT, but what are you all doing as far as following results (not just for presidential, but down-ballot races as well) online?

There are, but I don't have an antenna either. We just use our TVs for streaming (which is how I'll be listening to NPR) and Blu-ray.

Can CNN just have the main players on (King, Cooper, Tapper, Bash, Phillips, etc.) and not low lifes like Van Jones and Rick Santorum?

C-SPAN to get straight facts, then Joe Rogan for the entertainment.

Answered "other". I will be recording two channels which is all my DVR allows.

I might listen to the radio 1060, if the reception is good, which it usually isn't.
I listen to that station when I drive, lately, to keep abreast.

If talkelections is up, I may simultaneously listen to one of the "older" networks on youtube.

(NBC, CBS, or ABC).

I don't know.

I won't be watching FOX, because I won't be recording that network,
although I occasionally check it out and it would be interesting to see what Tucker and Sean are saying (or whoever is on at the time).

So I will probably be flipping back and forth...
I am more interested in the results than listening to boring pundits.

Also, I always record Jeopardy which I will watch later if the results are slow. (7PM-7:30)

I'm going to watch MSNBC. I love Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, Nicolle Wallace, and Chris Hayes.

I might occasionally flip to CNN. I like their instant polls and I like the banter between Cuomo and Lemon. But I'm really more of an MSNBC fan.
