US Election Results

From Slovenia, here's RTV Slovenija's U.S. election night set -- a virtual set (no, Obama and Romney aren't really standing there) based on the first debate stage:

And from France, here's the opening sequence to BFM TV's election night coverage, also showing their set:

Still there - and they didn't even break for PMQs. (Or rather DPMQs - Cameron is away.)
The headline bed going into the US2012 title sequence doesn't work particularly well. Nor does the re-edit they've done on that title music; or the fact that the reverse vision from London has such a lag on it that the title sequence is still halfway through forming up on the big screen when they crossfade through to the studio.

But other than that, it's not too bad.

Thought this might interest some.

The only way to get through an election night:

I seem to remember her appearing rather tipsy after Obama won in 2008 too. What you've got to love, though, is the faces of Jake Tapper and particularly David Muir around 1:52. They both look like they're trying hard to suppress laughter as she continues.

ITV had a pretty good night ratings wise on Tuesday. They didn't topple the BBC of course but head to head from 11.35pm-6am they got 197,000 compared to 250,000 on BBC1.

Not bad at all really.

Strong lead in from the football and NaT.

Everyone's problems would have been averted had they viewed the tweet on Neon, where it displayed itself in all its wondrous glory.

Call me a luddite, but I'm on "old" TVF, and will continue to be until it's taken offline. It's a shame these things aren't backwards compatible.

I think quite a few of us still are. It's a lot easier to digest what's going on for a simpleton like me.

I don't see why Neon is so radically different, in your eyes.
