The only American channels I can watch are CNN International and CNBC, and after a quick look it seems that neither are covering th election night. So, do American channels have website where you can watch them, and which one should I choose ?

Thanks a lot. Wink

Indeed, if I remember well that's where I followed the Pres election two years ago... However, on a quick look at the program I noticed no "US midterm" edition.

Sometimes it's called "special report" or "CNN US" or something else that doesn't catch your eye right away....any chance that's what it is? Smiley

I assume that AP will have websites, perhaps by state, as they did for primary elections.  If anyone knows what the URLs will be, please post them.  Thanks!

Well, from 0 AM to 2 AM (CEST), which should be more or less the time when you expect the first results, there they call it "World Report", which makes me quite skeptical... And then "Word Business somethin" until 3 AM...

I'll be streaming MSNBC, since we only get Czech TV (and I doubt they'll be covering it).

Slovak TV might be set up at Sestak Headquarters though.  Tongue

Throughout the election season, Blitzer and anchor Anderson Cooper will spearhead the network’s special coverage, while Larry King will continue to interview political newsmakers on his nightly program. Chief political correspondent and anchor Candy Crowley will add insightful and balanced reporting and interviews, and chief national correspondent and anchor John King will an upgraded Magic Wall to break down data state-by-state and to show the political pulse of the U.S.A.

I just saw a Kenny G ad for Shriner's Hospitals for Children on Fox News.

Could there be a worse 30 seconds?

grr... it says that the maximum number of people from my country are watching the MSNBC stream. And the stream at this (http://ihelps.net/tvlinks.htm) site says it isn't live yet... I guess I'll have to watch Wolf goddamn Blitzer.
