Fox News still refusing to call it.

Haha, Fox went to a break so they could work out how to maintain their alternative reality:

Neil Cavuto now saying 'nothing is confirmed' until all results are officially certified. Clearly scared of upsetting the viewership.

They're now covering a conspiracy about Sharpie pens and ink bleeding through paper.

Looks like it won't matter to the overall result now, but Arizona is getting pretty tight as the vote counts are being updated (in this case, Trump is catching up). Fox News and the AP looking really quite 'brave' to have called it so quickly. May still end up blue but Biden's early lead has shrunk considerably as votes have been counted.

Not sure you can extrapolate much to UK General Elections, as we just have seats declare their results (not counties within states like they are going into the detail of - to get a sense of how the whole state will go).

We've not often been treated to a wide shot of the New Day studio (complete with crew in their masks). Exposed brick doesn't do it for me, but has long been a feature of many of these breakfast programmes:

That's been the only downside of watching CNNi during all this - the same 10 adverts on rotation.

Although the subtitles say ‘Pocket tap for our times’. Which to be fair still doesn’t make sense.

The other one: "Everyone's got the Scan & Go app. That's ASDA price!" also makes no sense.

So after 7hrs 30 mins on air. Wolf has taken a break and Anderson is now still going presenting from 2:30pm US time with Erin Burnett.

It's something of a tradition that Blitzer announces their final projection, which is presumably why the 'A team' were on so early today... but the slow, thorough counting of votes is making all the networks wait.

CNN International & Domestic

Maybe I'm a bit late to say, but if you're in the UK, you can watch the website live stream here. It has no ads, just a "Commercial break in progress" slide during the breaks.

It also works fine with mobile apps that let you cast web videos to a TV with Chromecast.

This is why Shepard Smith is at CNBC.

Sorry for repeating myself, but Shep is excellent.

It would be funny it wasn't so horrifying.

Even Rick Santorum is outraged and thought it was horrific...
