US ELECTIONS 2020 Coverage

Omnipresent posted:
I guess one consequence of social distancing is that CNN has abandoned its eight pundits seated around a table format.

They are still there - just spread across NY and DC. They just haven't used them that much as the results are so tight and the 'magic wall' is much more interesting than commentary. However, as soon as the result is declared - I expect a revert to form with non-stop studio and WebEx talking heads.

They didn't phone Fox, they went straight to Rupe... who refused

This is really quite nasty, but not unexpected from a certain campaign:

The Arizona call and figure of 264 seems to have originated at AP, so any outlets that are using them have the same result. I notice Al Jazeera's interactive results page is one of those

Just as an aside, Fox News was one of the first to call Arizona for Biden (very early) which caused yet another pantomime moment of the anchors getting someone from their 'Decision Desk' on air to explain themselves. Apparently the Trump campaign told Fox to switch it back to too early to call.

For those that haven't seen this, it's very good parody!

CNN coverage switched to New York with Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon at 3 am ET (8 am GMT). John Berman and Alisyn Camerota have just taken over also in New York at the later then usual time of 8 am ET (1 pm GMT).

Phil Mattingly at the map must be exhausted, but they don't seem to have anyone else in NY that can do the touchscreen analysis.

US ELECTIONS 2020 Coverage

CNN appear to have switched away from the Washington DC 'Election Center' overnight at some point to another New York studio, complete with additional magic wall.

I guess all of the network and cable coverage will give way to breakfast programmes at 6am ET (11am GMT).

Not OfCom compliant but I'm sure they'll get away with it.

I was watching the stream on the website.

The AP is fairly well-respected, and provides results to National Public Radio in the US (amongst many others):

MSN giving some very weird scores, anyone know their source? https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/us-election-2020/results-map

The map says AP (Associated Press).

How do ITV get their results coming in from all of the Electoral College votes when compared to the BBC?

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but it's good to remember that many of these numbers are projections (educated guesses) as opposed to actual confirmed results - that's why they will vary more between broadcasters (particularly compared to UK general election results, which are only counted after the declaration).

CNN International & Domestic

They are surely winding up the viewers with these Borat and Calm app sponsorships...
