Primarily CNN with occasional check-ins on Fox.

No option for CSPAN? Smiley

MSNBC, just because of their music.

Like some other red avatars have said, I'll flip it on Faux Noise when the election is called for Hillary, just to lavish in their reaction/inevitable hissy fit.

Hopefully they'll have someone better than Alex Wagner to report on the Senate/gubernatorial elections.

I'm wondering if its a good idea to go to a bar and watch election results like I'm there watching a football game?

MSNBC for the most part.  Love Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace is hot.

Go to the worst part of town you can find and then find a biker bar.  Let us know what happened, if you can.

I've watched NBC every election night since I was 12 years old. Tom Brokaw, Tim Russert, Brian Williams...nobody could narrate and announce election returns like them. Unfortunately, Lester Holt doesn't give me that same thrill, and NBC changed their music to some lame CNN-level crap. While I prefer to be part of the most-watched network on election night, I may have to break my tradition and watch MSNBC just to see Williams, Maddows, Matthews, and the old NBC election theme. CNN is boring as sh*t and Fox is only fun to watch because of their reactions once the election has been called.

Man, NBC knew how to give me goosebumps:

The combination of MSNBC's election theme of pure hype + Steve Kornacki makes it the channel for me.

I would have preferred MSNBC, but I only have CNN here in Norway sadly. CNN is also known as Trump News Channel, and perhaps the only reason why Trump won the Republican nomination, as they had him constantly on 24/7 for about 10 months or so. Shameless. Even the CEO of CNN has now gone out publically and apologized that CNN basically brought Trump to the world and all the immense stress that has caused for an entire planet.

First time I won't watch Fox at all.

However I can. I'm in the UK without a TV so I voted youtube. However if MSNBC is livestreaming the results I'll go there. My parents watch MSNBC, and if I watch that we're all in sync.

Flipping between CNN and the World's Greatest Network for the local coverage.

Nothing better than the background music on MSNBC when they are announcing the returns

They really do have the best election music. If I can't watch them, I'll sorely miss that song

I'll hopefully be at some watch party so it depends what they put on and what they have available - I'm imagine it'd most likely be CNN International if they chose an English language station, since I'm pretty sure that and BBC World are the only two big stations widely available.  If I pick the wrong one I could get lumbered with whatever French or Belgian station is providing extensive coverage though...
