Anyone know if The Daily Show/Colbert election programme is being shown over here?

MSNBC said just before the last ad break that they would be providing "All day election coverage, broadcast in 78 countries around the world."

Will that just be international networks dipping in and out of coverage like ITV, or do you think that is full rebroadcasts?


That aired this morning to, During Morning Joe and their fear mongering of Obama may lose.

I've been trying to find out a bit more about this, but haven't had much luck. I know CNBC Europe is scheduled to broadcast MSNBC election coverage between 11pm and midnight tomorrow - but then they're due to take the CNBC US election programme from midnight til' 6am, according to their website.

I suspect they just mean that bits of their coverage will be shown around the world, on channels like CNBC.

Presumably CNN International will be taking CNN domestic?


You'd have thought so, however - the EPG on Virgin only has a broadcast listed from midnight to 3am, which seems wrong to me.

I expect that's a mistake - CNN International's due to show 'Election Night in America' until 5am GMT. I'd imagine they'll extend that, though - unless the race is over very early.

Just been announced that Obama's grandmother has died.

What a mixed bunch of emotions for him this week.

Well according to the Sky EPG, 'The Situation Room' is on from 11pm-12am and then from 3am-4am 'Anderson Cooper 360'.

Are these programmes simulcast live usually?

I hadn't seen Newsnight in the Washington studio until this evening - they've got it looking rather nice.
