BBC show seems rather stuffy, while the ITV and Sky are more jiggy

The voiceover, ' here is Brian Williams' rather than ' with Brian Williams'. 'Here is' sounds a bit too informal?

It might be because NBC are aware that ITV are joining them at certain times, 'here' would sound better to me for someone staying in the UK who didn't know who Brian Williams was.

ABC's studio is stunning.

Suppsoe so, I'm used to NBC News so that will be why the 'here is' seems weird to me.

The graphics on ITV News are very Sky News tonight.

Yeah I was NBC all the time so I knew who Brian Williams was as well.

EDIT - NBC are predicting Georgia for Romney.

Is it possible one channel could call a State, while the other don't?

NBC are usually on the ball though when it comes to predicting results.

I quickly flicked between the BBC and ITV during the opening minutes of each programme. On the whole, it doesn't seem like a great night for pres fans. The BBC graphics are an improvement over 2008, but it's a shame they're recycling both the buttons motif and the 2010 music. ITV - the graphics are tidy, but the studio isn't all that brilliant. It's basically the normal surroundings turned blue with a couple of tweaks here and there. And in contrast to BBCNicky, I thought ITV's 2008 theme music was much better than the one being used tonight. 2008 was rather uplifting and authoritative, whilst this year's music is rather weak and frankly unmemorable. I've only been switched off for 15 minutes and I've already forgotten the tune.
