Although a BBC "loyalist", found their presentation incredibly pedestrian and turned to ITV. Think they have got a good balance & I like the drop-ins to NBC. Have flicked to Sky, Al-Jazeera & RT, but not for very long!
Fox News has gone into meltdown. Highlight of the night.
Rove has been hilarious, esp when he turned on Fox News prediction staff (who ironically called Ohio for Obama before CNN did). The funniest bit was when they just laughed at him and dismissed his bonkers maths.

ITV have the advantage that they are able to use these drop-ins. The BBC cannot as they are in direct competition with the US Networks, so their entire programme has to be their own... thus is bland and repetitive. They simply don't have the same reach within the US as NBC do.
Chuck Todd seems to be losing the plot on MSNBC - just made some comment about "errr.... sorry. I just... I had the voices in my head. And my name's not Donald Trump. Sorry, I've tried to [refrain from making negative comments about] that individual."
It's a hard one for Chuck Todd - NBC News Chief White House correspondent and Political Director - as he also has a morning show on MSNBC. It's meant to be an objective news show, but on a left-leaning channel. It's really difficult for him to remain nonpartisan for NBC News, while also appealing to the MSNBC audience.

(Hope that makes sense, it is 5am. )
Sure does! Also, the fact that ITV are ad-free has encouraged me to watch. I take it US networks still have a plethora of ad-breaks during their coverage?
If BBC could have used a TC1-type studio with big sweeps, etc; maybe the some in the US may tune in

That would have to come out of BBC World News' budjet, which they probably couldn't justify unless their audience share and ad revenues massively increased within the USA.
