US Election Results

You know, they could change the colour scheme but keep the same set when the logo changes next year, and it'll look drastically different to how it looks now. That photo proves it.

I'd really like to see the keying tried with BBC Breakfast's Salford studio. Sure, the small space would easily give away shadows and with sharp camera movements. In any case, it would be good to see the result. To hijack the thread, they've done an excellent job with the available space - would like a bigger studio next new look - just saying.

Anyway .... Can't wait for the coverage from the BBC Washington studio - it's a great space, improved vastly by the keying of the extra floor. It's going to be an excellent night of coverage (I REALLY love the love of the ITV studio - the colour scheme is very well suited indeed - so fresh and not the ITV that I currently associate with rubbish programming - nervous for the result, but for the coverage, I'm thinking BBC on TV, ITV on laptop.

I doubt it would work with Breakfast. With Washington you don't see the ceiling except in the wideshot therefore they can get away with it with a locked off shot. With Breakfast you tend to see the ceiling all the time and the cameras move

You're completely right - didn't think about that. We live in hope for a better studio one day. Back to election talk...

I'm hoping to live tweet posts and pictures during the build-up and transmission of ITV's overnight US election coverage tonight , if that's of any interest. Comments and questions always welcome. My Twitter link should be to the right of this post.

It's not on the new version of the forum, but here it is anyway...

Sorry if this has (likely) already been mentioned, but has anyone seen the plans NBC and ABC have for election coverage? NBC have turned the 30 Rockefeller Plaza (renamed 'Democracy Plaza') ice rink into a map of America and seem to be basing all of their coverage outside for some reason, and ABC are planning to 'transform' a section of Times Square for election coverage.

All seems a little gimmicky, to be honest, but nice that they're both making an effort in this era of cost-cutting.

Yes although the boss of NBC is currently trying to tank the network to get Kabletown to sell so it might be a carcrash like Homonym.

For one day CNNI is a rolling news channel again, it's own coverage started at 12.00CET with Richard Quest and Isha Sesay and will continue, with various other presenters, until 22.00cet when they'll join CNN US.

It's great, isn't it? Well, apart from Richard Quest . . .

Ali Velshi and a Gallused Richard Quest. Is he going to wear them for the entire duration, one wonders.

I'm a fan of Questy so for me it's an additional bonus he's presenting first 4 hours of their coverage. From what I saw, Hala will present from 18.00 til 20.00 cet and Amanpour will have a full hour at 21.00 cet. After that they'll join CNN US.
