How is British TV Covering Election Night?

[liberalpragmatist]

Any international DU'ers out there? I'm curious how the BBC and other international news organizations are covering the race. Are they actually having round-the-clock coverage like a domestic election? I doubt that, but I would think they would simply periodically report updates on the state of the race on the cable news channels. Or are they just going to report the winner at the end of the night?

So how ARE they covering it?

1. I think the main BBC network BBC ONE will simulcast

with BBC News 24 (it's cable news network) during the night when the main results start to come in. It is generally covering the race evenly but is making point of the republican voter fraud.

UK's Channel 4 news is also making light of republican voter fraud.

3. Coverage in Germany

2. Quite a lot of coverage

The two main and most popular broadcast networks, BBC1 and ITV1, are having all night coverage, starting at around 12:00am GMT local time (7:00pm ET).

The 24 hour news channels in Britain will all have continuous coverage, with the BBC and ITV news channels, BBC News 24 and ITV News Channel, both simulcasting their main network coverage, and the lone Sky News will have its own coverage.

4. Both BBC and ITV have all night long

election specials -- just like we have for domestic elections.

I can't wait!

5. I wonder how many Europeans will wake up super early or won't sleep

in order to follow this election.
