US Election Night: Domestic Coverage

Already spotted two mistakes on various channels.

1st. Independent Radio News referred to the "State of Chicago", Chicago isd a CITY in Illinois.

2nd. BBC - "All states are winner takes all" Or words to that effect. Maine uses proporttional representation in the Electoral College.

well this is a car crash on the BBC isnt it.

Matt Frei appears to have brought it back up to good BBC standard... Hope David doesn't present this like this all night. Very poor so far.

I think I'll stick with MSNBC for the moment...

It is absolutely shambolic so far.

Matt Frei providing some stability now.

But lets face it: You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

Well the BBC One feed is having problems with the display of the Astons.

BBC News fluff up again!

Oh come on, it's not that bad on the BBC - a few little glitches, but that's live TV.

Liking the graphics, and Jeremy's 'studio' looks great.

Oh I shouldn't laugh, but as Asa said - when he appeared to not know who his guest was, the lady who'll be there all night - it did cross my mind that he'd lost it. He was very peeved at something, seemed to be shouting at someone (probably the gallery). I'm sure Matt Frei was full of glee. I'm sure he's has his nose put out of joint at the fact they've brought DImbleby over anyway.

Roll on Alastair Stewart...... 7 mins to go!

Newsnight was good but they seemed to have some issues with the sound.

Did anyone else hear one of their guys going through what he was going to say with his mic on before they actually cut to him via sat?

He said something along the lines of "So I'll say 'They've done all they can'...".

And I distinctly remember hearing someone selotaping up something in the background when Jeremy was talking to someone.

Would have preferred some simple non glassy graphics in the same vein as the normal news graphics. These seem clunky, flickery, and slower.

Also was hoping for a nice variation on the BBC news music and globe for the titles/stings...

Another stunning bit of presentation from Dimbelby there.

Worse than the time Aktor Kahn presented Breakfast.

Are you watching what I'm watching. Dimbleby is one of our finest broadcasters and can do this sort of stuff in his sleep! It's not his fault that people aren't putting the right stuff on his screens.
