Surely News 24 will hand back to Breakast at 0600 no matter what.


No reason for them to - continuing with Election coverage would provide the viewer with a choice after all.

News at Ten seems to be obsessed with the Democrats today. I like their coverage, though.

Anywhose, Super Tuesday tomorrow. This should be fun.

I'm actually looking foward to AlJazeera's take on this. Their presentation looks fantastic, will be interesting to see if they pull out some special graphics. I noticed that David Foster, who is a Doha presenter, has moved over to Washington D.C. to cover the elections.

Bit odd that the BBC Press Release doesn't say the BBC World News America Special will be shown on News 24. Radio Times says it is.

MSNBC is now streaming its live Super Tuesday coverage here.

Pretty good quality - although, unlike the New Hampshire Primaries, you have to watch it via the flash site.

Meanwhile, TVNewser has this round-up of what all the US networks are up to...

Quote:
• ABC — Charlie Gibson, Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos lead five hours of coverage beginning at 8pmET.

• CBS — Katie Couric anchors a 2-hour special at 9pmET along with Bob Schieffer, Jeff Greenfield and CBS News correspondents.

• NBC — Brian Williams anchors a special report at 10pmET with Tim Russert and Tom Brokaw contributing. Williams also anchors a one-hour Nightly News that will be updated for four different feeds.

• PBS — Jim Lehrer anchors three hours of coverage from 9pmET - Midnight along with Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff.

• CNN — 40 hours of non-stop political programming begins at 6amET with American Morning. CNN will air a live studio audience show "CNN-Time America Votes 2008" anchored by Campbell Brown at Noon (TVNewser will be there.) At 7pmET the prime time election coverage begins, with a midnight Larry King Live.

• FNC — 24-hours straight of live coverage, starting at 5amET with Fox and Friends. At Noon, Alan Colmes and Sean Hannity join Jane Skinner for two hours. Greta Van Susteren and Martha McCallum anchor from 2-4pmET. Neil Cavuto, Shepard Smith and Trace Gallagher anchor from 4-6pmET, before Brit Hume takes over You Decide 2008 coverage.

• HLN — In addition to live election result updates from Richelle Carey, HLN will air live editions of Glenn Beck at 7pmET, 9pmET and Midnight.

• MSNBC — MSNBC will begin its all-day Super Tuesday coverage with Morning Joe at 6amET. The prime time programming runs from 6pmET to 2amET, and is anchored by Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann.

• BBC — The Beeb's World News America airs live on BBC America and BBC World News from 7pmET - Midnight.

• CNBC — "Your Money, Your Vote," anchored by Larry Kudlow airs from 7pm to 9pmET. The program will include coverage from both CNBC and NBC News correspondents.

Really looking foward to AJE's coverage now.
Usually Washington anchor the 11pm-4am news, but tonight, the election coverage will be anchored from Doha. All presentation will be from the newswall, and remembering its nearly 20 metres, its going to be good!

France 24 has some interesting coverage planned. Very interactive with reporters liveblogs and live feedback, should be good.

Only 2 hours for CBS, compared to all the others that seems very little.

Seeing as Huw Edwards is in New York, do we think he will be seen at some point during the BBC News Special? Matthew Price is also currently in New York so it could be either of the two i guess (but my money is on Matt).
