Networks Not Willing to Preempt Primetime Shows for Midterm Coverage

Can you get election results from Selfie?

Probably not, which means if you’re a political junkie you might want to stay away from the networks entirely. Across the board the major networks pushed their midterm coverage back to 10 p.m. this year:

This is compared to 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. coverage four years ago. Apparently the voting on The Voice and the drama on NCIS: New Orleans eclipse the IRL election versions of both. (Networks do plan to update throughout commercial breaks.)

Mediaite is not thrilled to send anyone cable news’ way, but that may be your best bet for up-to-the-minute televised results. Of course you could go the other way and ignore media entirely tonight.
