Bit of a fail with the graphics at the all-important close of polls there. Plenty more states to go, and lots of practise to come before November though:

There was a projection - Trump to Republicans, Sanders for Democrats - just took a while to appear, with Wolf looking slightly anxious. Sorry for the rubbish quality pics.

I thought I'd bump this thread to show what all the domestic US channels were airing tonight around 21:40 - which was when Donald Trumo was speaking.

The big three squares are fairly self explanatory being MSNBC, CNN, Fox News. In the smaller fourth quadrant there's C-SPAN, Fox Business, CNBC and Al Jazeera.

GMB's graphics have been slightly toned down, thank goodness.

NBC has revised it's 'Decision 2016' graphics, now more prominently featuring colour on white, over white on colour as it was previously. In some respects it seems to be an improvement as the heavy red/blue background did seem a little garish at times. However, the execution of the new graphics doesn't seem to be anywhere near as pleasant. For the two-way background on the Today show it's a little relief from the heavy colour scheme, however the elegant results/stats graphics have been sacrificed for something far inferior. The logo has also adopted a narrower font, reminiscent of the 'Decision 2012' logo.

There's also been modifications to the MSNBC graphics

Glad you've posted about this. I noticed it myself during MSNBC's primary coverage on Tuesday night.

I'm not a fan - I much prefer the old ones. The new ones are very basic and brash.

It seems we dont actually have one stop shop for the election coverage.

TV live does have some bits n bobs from the current pres being used.

I have notice the BBC has changed its logo for the election within the past month, to look hexagon.

I was trying to find that, but it seems the searches are not wanting to play ball either right now!
