I do not have cable or satellite. I would like to "watch" election result returns in real time [Rather, on the same pace that TV gets them in.] I do not want to wade through Twitter submissions, or skim article after article. -or worse
I am looking for free online coverage of results. I would prefer an established TV network's coverage, and I would prefer further the actual TV feed, complete with audio.
What are my options? CNN seems to be hitting it hard already and the mechanics they are employing are closer to what I am looking for than not. Other established 24 hour new networks would be next best choice (Well, one of the two is right out, if you catch my drift.) ABC and CBS would be third tier.
Bloomberg has a TV feed of it's channel. Will they cover the election? PBS seems to care less about results. I would consider NPR and BBC*
Are there sites that aggregate? Are there other online solutions that are strictly better than TV**?
* Yes, I know that the British Broadcasting Corporation is obviously British, but if they do cover the returns, in any form, I would enjoy their perspective.
**Again, I am frankly looking for an option where I don't have to "work" to understand the results. Out of context I know this sounds like I'm mindless, but I think the pace of events will require a simplified and easy to swallow formatting.
