They could in theory have the briefing on BBC1 and US Election coverage on BBC News/World.

TV Newser has calculated who spent the most time on air during the election coverage.
https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/heres-who-logged-the-most-hours-on-air-last-night/462217/
Quote:
If John King is 1A, then MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki is 1B when it comes to election night “wall work” (we can throw Hemmer in the mix as well). King’s 11 hours on air is impressive, as is Hemmer’s 10, but Kornacki managed to dwarf that number. He was on hand at “the big board” for the start of MSNBC’s Decision 2020 coverage at 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 3, and remained there until 1 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Nov. 4.

That’s 19 consecutive hours on-air.

I thought this was the tweet

Could the BBC News flipper be anymore annoying? Flipping back and forth at least 10 times.

They could, but I suspect the BBC would never consider having the signing on BBC 1 too, so BoJo would need to remain on the NC, and therefore BBC 1 as well <facepalm>

Let’s not assume either after last weekend that all of these will start on time.
Hope for Reeta’s sake it’s not her on duty for BBC having to fill time before the various press conferences start.

Nevada are doing an update on their count at 1700 GMT.

If that means that NV (with 6 EC votes) is announcing that it's gone for Biden then the news outlets who currently have the count as 264 for Biden will have a winner.

If this happens then it could get a bit complicated, as the places that called Arizona did so before it emerged there were more uncounted votes than previously thought, so it's still in play for Trump. Therefore we could have a situation where, as you say, Biden appears to have more than 270, but only because of a premature call in Arizona that no-one will want to hang their hat on. This is a good summary...

For those that haven't seen this, it's very good parody!

Shouldn't be the BBC's job to offer the signing, but could still be available on the red button and online. Do they even point BBC1 viewers to the news channel for the signed version? I wasn't aware of it till the recent meme.

I agree. And no, I don't think they do point it out.

Agreed about this. Wasn’t Johnson asked a question not too long ago about whether they would add signing to the pressers as the First Minister has? He said he would look into it, from memory.

There was a preview of the headline straps for the 16:00 World and NC simulcast bulletin during the promos after the weather this afternoon.
