I've been scouring the internet for any information that I can find about coverage. ABC in Australia is airing an extended Breakfast on ABC1 until 10am, with additional coverage of the election between midday and 1.30pm and between 3pm and 4pm, all times for Sydney. Meanwhile ABC News 24 airs Breakfast until 10.30am and then rolling coverage until 6pm Sydney time.
CBC News Network is airing coverage from 5pm ET with a 3 hour long Power and Politics special, then Peter Mansbirdge takes over at 8pm until 6am with all night National special.
EuroNews has rolling coverage from 8pm UK, 2100 CET. France 24 and RT are expected to have special coverage as well. In RTs case, the likelihood of coverage coming from RT America in Washington would be quite high, but so far nothing has been explicitly advertised.
Politico have coverage online from 7pm, which is being simulcast on C-Span from 8pm ET. Democracy Now also has online coverage from 7pm for 6 hours.
In America itslef, there's lots of coverage. Each of the main networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, have coverage beginning at 7pm ET, whilst CNN's main coverage begins at 4pm. FOX News Channel's coverage begins at 6pm ET and MSnbc's coverage also begins at the same time. Current has their "Politically Direct" coverage anchored by Al Gore, starting at 8pm ET.
Over on twitter, I'll be tweeting coverage during the night using the hashtag #vpus2012. I will see you there.
