I'm thinking CSpan mainly, but I'll prolly be flipping channels. Avoiding Faux.

1. Mostly CBS and CSPAN
But like you, I'll be flipping around. I'll probably go to Faux, but only if Kerry looks like he's running away with it. I want to see Brit Hume cry.

4. ABC and CSPAN--until Kerry is the definitive winner.
Then I will try to catch every single talking head having to talk about it. It'll rock.

Unless I get curious before then....

6. Probably MSNBC
I wanna see Matthews' transformation into a die-hard Kerry supporter.

And I'll be watching Faux News, too. Gotta watch them break down and cry. :)

7. PBS, CSpan, Air America Radio
I'm not watching the bias channels. Not even for entertainment value. My viewership is my vote on what I want the media to look like.

8. PBS, CSPAN, NPR, and DU...
As far as the TV goes, I cannot tolerate the screaming, posturing talking heads.

Hell, in the 2002 senate elections, NBC had **Rush Limbaugh** on twice, shooting the numbers with Brokaw and Russert, for pete's sake. Who the hell want to see/hear that?

Ugh. :puke:

9. Fox
Hopefully Hannity will be on when Kerry is announced the winner. :evilgrin:

Until it becomes clear though I will probably watch CBS or CSPAN.

10. I really can't stand any of the commercial networks.
I'll probably be watching CSPAN, maybe flipping over to PBS from time to time.

15. Probably CBS . . .
My NBC station is usually fuzzy, my ABC station is even more fuzzy.

Darn antenna.


I suffer from cable or satellite TV envy. :cry:

16. ABC, PBS, C-SPAN
I'm tempted to have a peep at NBC to see if Brokaw has a Brinkley moment.
