TV/Streaming Coverage

Ludo

Discuss all tv coverage here...it is spread across all threads at the moment.

Where are the mods when ya need em

Tusky

CNNs is very high tech. They have a hologram of a woman in the studio!

Crash

Say what you want about fox, but their ticker is extremely good IMO.

Ludo

Flicked on RTE a while ago there. Their map looked like something knocked together on a Commodore64...BRUTAL!

I like Anderson cooper, mainly cause he hosted the mole but they have about 3 times too many people in the studio

Interesting I would have thought they show itv's coverage. It's what they do the rest of the year

pickarooney

I've 10 websites open and only one has up to date info - boards.ie

wandatowell

I think the BBC coverage is pretty good,

The guy on there that has the touch screen tv has done his research, fair play to him. Thought the pictures of the crowd running across the field was cack, wtf?

CHD

Any links to FOX?

Tusky

The giant touch screen thing they have on CNN is nifty...very minority report.

MisterAnarchy

RTE's coverage is brutal.
That Mark Little guy is clueless.Absolute buffoon.
The way they are praising Obama you'd think he was after serving 2 terms as the greatest president ever,after healing the sick,walking on water,turning dirt into gold.Ridiculous.
Its a case of the Emperors new clothes.

you see the hollogram earlier? seriously well done

These guys playing with their touchscreens (on all the channels) are really p!ssing me off. They're not showing any more information - they're just showing off "and if I tap here it zooms in and we can see some useless information that I could have just told you instead".

Just show the damn info.

LadyMayBelle

The cnn coverage on the tv is different from the stream on the net, where can i view the tv coverage online or is that possible..almost had a meltdown overloading of sites!

Im 99% sure that Microsoft Surface.

Rowley Birkin QC

Was that Jimmy Carter on BBC there a minute ago?

Only caught the very end of it.

MisterAnarchy

RTE's coverage is ****e.
They have all these muppets on blabbing on about drivel.
Its supposed to be a results show,not a discussion program.

I'm flicking between about 5 channels.
Why did RTE even bother to show something ,waste of money.Leave it to the pros.

bazluhrman

cnn is very cagey when it comes to calling states and that hologram was sorry,definitely the acedemic choice.christopher hitchens was on bbc1 and he was kinda fun,i would be as happy with john bowman if it wasn't for mark little's o so puckable head.that said none of this matters :P

Go Obama! He has to win

too true. i switched off after about 5 minutes.

P.C.

I am still confused about these 'projected' results???

ScumLord

The map on RTEs website seems to be updated allot quicker than CNNs.

MisterAnarchy

Who is that weirdo on RTE now ?

ScumLord

Tg4 wins worst coverage with France 24. I don't think they've a clue whats going on.

Holsten

CNN is deffo the best.

Slick as hell.

amacachi

I'm loving Fox News tbh. Numbers flying across the screen, some fancy gizmos but nothing on the scale of CNN, which to me is good thing.

DavidLive

RTÉ's coverage, as usual, is dreadful. Really is.

Personally, I am watching Al Jazeera English. Absolutely superb.
Honest, factual, comprehensive. No bias, with lots of discussion, debate and accurate, up to date results.

Mary Robinson was on the programme earlier giving her piece!

I was to watch BBC and Sky, but AJE is far better.
Truly excellent.

Watch it via online TV @ www.livestation.com.

BBC is terrible.

Strange, because normally I like their work.

amacachi

Me too, their UK General Election coverage is usually top notch. Dimbleby looks like he doesn't want to be there and the whole thing is just chaotic.

DavidLive

And its not as if they were up for McCain; saw he was losing, and then just haven't bothered putting anymore input in!

they should have called it a night at mid-night imo, shocking!

Daysha

I've enjoyed Sky tonight too tbh

Simi

Comedy central ftw! Ads every 3mins are kinda annoying though.
