US election night coverage on British television
Monday, November 3rd, 2008Staying in on November 4th? You eminently sensible people. Here’s who’s covering it when on British TV (or a combination of British TV and American TV being beamed into British homes):
Sky News: 11pm – 6am
BBC1: 11.45pm – 6am
ITV1: 11.45pm -6am
CNN: 12am – 6am
Fox News (if you must – well, it might be fun to watch Hannity and O’Reilly spitting blood): 10pm – uncertain. As in I’m uncertain, not them. According to Sky TV’s official listings, they’re showing Bill O’Reilly and Hannity & Colmes throughout the night – but clearly that can’t be right. Can it?
The wonderful Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are also doing a Daily Show election night special together – which I’m imagining will show as usual on More4, ie the day after it’s broadcast in the States. ie. The election night show will actually be shown in the UK on Wednesday night.
Oh, and here’s the lovely Carly on The Today Show with some “very fun” food, drink and games ideas for your election night party (doesn’t include ‘McCain Hard Cheese With Sour Grapes’ or ‘Pin the smear on the Democratic candidate’):
