I usually go with UK coverage and then also follow the results online but decided to give CNN a go this time around and then see what the US networks were up to. Given the US news media's like for talking heads and debates, I thought that this was probably going to be more of the same. But it was so refreshing just to have a relatively no nonsense presentation of the results in such detail. So I ended up sticking with it for pretty much the entirety of the night.
John King at the magic wall is a maestro as well - far too often can touch screens end up looking like a gimmick and clunky but he's one smooth operator, clearly knows his stuff and it feels as though there's nothing he can't tell you.
The only downside was Wolf Blitzer constantly saying "let's get a key race alert" which seemed like a strange and robotic thing to say when you wouldn't say something like "let's get a news flash". A little bit more variety would have been nice but I know that his presentation style is very matter of fact so perhaps not surprising.
