US ELECTIONS 2020 Coverage

With the tiniest, but noticeably annoying, delay to her audio. I noticed the same on Christian when he was out there last night.

Jane obrian and Phillipa Thomas on this bbc world for the last few hours. Babita replaces phillipa for half hour then she’s replaced by Rebecca Jones. Any idea why?

Focus on Africa will be using studio C so the London side of the coverage has moved to the NC studio and presenter rather than the world team.

So after 7hrs 30 mins on air. Wolf has taken a break and Anderson is now still going presenting from 2:30pm US time with Erin Burnett.

He was planning that back in 2016 had he lost to Hillary Clinton.

It's something of a tradition that Blitzer announces their final projection, which is presumably why the 'A team' were on so early today... but the slow, thorough counting of votes is making all the networks wait.

John King's magic wall on CNN has gained new fans in Ireland. He has gained me as a fan as well.

He sent a tweet to Derry Girls creator, Lisa McGee, to say that he was always Irish.

This is not a credible news outlet, as much as it pretends to be.

Kay Burley is a big John King fan too.

I have to say I’ve been pretty impressed with bbc news’ coverage today it’s been double headed for the majority of the evening, a lot of on the ground reporting which is good. It would be even better if we don’t go to standard bulletins overnight.
