The BBC posted earlier tonight on their election live blog about Trump’s interview with NewsNation. Needless to say, the way they described the network is something to say the least.

And here it is! Someone must've listened

And one other thing I'd like to say about that huge video of NBC News graphics I posted recently: IMO, the best one was the first one, that for Today (because of how the first vestiges of Today's sunrise icon peeked over the Earth as the continent animation appeared, and then a bright aura/shine appeared from the center of that sun as the NBC News Today title wiped in, with the sunrise completing itself when the title appeared in full and Bryant Gumbel and Jane Pauley were billed by the late NBC announcer Fred Facey... "From NBC News, this is Today...with Bryant Gumbel...and Jane Pauley."

By virtue of being the largest media market, I would imagine.

Just realized I typed a 3 instead of a 5. They both average around 500,000 - 560,000. For comparison CNN does 600,000 - 650,000 for the same slot both days and Fox does 1.4 +/- M (sat) & 1.7M +/- (sun). Either way MSNBC is in last, at this point I have no faith in them adding any news, they've passed up several opportunities to do so. I'm sure they'll have an opinion host announced by the end of the year. I'd love to see David Gura come back, "UP" was very popular before they placed Ali Velshi in his spot. I've corrected my mistake in the initial post. • • • • • • • MSNBC has a nice new desk for its election coverage. Seems to be a digital display in the front, hopefully they can change out the flag/stars and use it for normal programs. They are also using update election lower thirds, clearly inspired by NBC News NOW’s graphics, and I actually like them, very simple and clean, just imagine how good they’d look without the election info below it, make a few tweaks regarding the time and live (which is awkwardly placed) and they’d be very nice L3’s.

I feel like I'm back in 1999 when The Early Show started putting their logo in unrealistic places by their Fifth Avenue cameras.

I was trying to figure that out, too. At first I thought they wanted us to believe that Norah and company would be hanging out in there. But I have a feeling it will show results. I guess if NBC and Fox News can make it look like they are projecting election results on their NYC buildings, CBS has to, too.
