How to livestream election night TV, without cable
(Screengrab from elections livestream spreadsheet. Click through for full version.)
I made a spreadsheet for you, ya nerds.
If you want to watch US election returns but don't have TV, I got you.
When there's a major news event, I try to document all the livestream options and put them in a public spreadsheet.
It's a bit U.S.-centric, so a couple options could be geo-blocked. But most of these streams should work everywhere. Click through for full view and URLs in spreadsheet.
Note: Most networks start their non-stop coverage at 7PM eastern.
Which is the least biased?
I definitely respect the question, but tend to think "every reality is somebody else's bubble." :D
That said, there are streams included from outside the U.S. (Al Jazeera English, Sky News, two pretty different perspectives :D), and a bunch of American networks and different properties.
I also tend to focus more on production style and genre than "bias." (For example, I like loooong interviews over short ones, and find that matters to me more than bias of the entity.)
Another example in the spreadsheet: Bloomberg is a finance network, which means regardless of political persuasion, they're going to be less "showy" in their production style. Fox is definitely theatrical, regardless of political persuasion, and are going be very dramatic.
As for me, I'll mostly be reading Twitter Lists, and will have ABC's stream open, only because they will feature 538 (A U.S. data journalism site) contributors throughout the night.
