Does anyone know which of the local networks will be covering the election? And will it be a live feed of a US network?
Any details would be much appreciated.

But nothing tops the election coverage I have been waiting ages for:
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report present

You're clearly into Democrat delusion

SBS has the best coverage for me last time around. CNN's website is pretty good as well.
Yep I did the same. The fact that the counting will be going on during our working hours on Wednesday will ensure I make the same choice this time around.I followed the 2004 election via CNN's website, so I'll probably be doing the same this time around.
There's another obvious choice.Yep I did the same. The fact that the counting will be going on during our working hours on Wednesday will ensure I make the same choice this time around.

Anyone else hate hearing Australian reporters cover US elections? It just annoys me.
Only if Obama wins.FOX might be good for a laugh.
I'll have both the internet and probably CNN happening. I wonder if there will be another moment like in 2000 when I was staring at an electoral map and Florida mysteriously moved from 'Gore' to 'undecided'.
I've taken the day off work this time around.
