ABC’s coverage will also feature:

  • David Lipson - ABC’s Politics Editor
  • Sara James - Emmy Award-winning journalist and author, correspondent and former presenter for NBC News
  • Nick Bryant - Former long-serving international correspondent for the BBC
  • Simon Jackman - Political Scientist at the University of Sydney

Also the guides indicate that Michael Rowland will be hosting News Breakfast solo from the US (i.e. no presenter in the Melbourne studios).

ABC’s main channel will also be breaking away from coverage at 2pm to go to Question Time from the House of Representatives, before returning to the rolling coverage at 3pm - also means that Question Time will be airing live on the main channel outside of AEDT timezone (i.e. 1:30pm in SA, 1pm in QLD, etc).

News Channel will stick with the election coverage.

The ABC’s coverage will also air on ABC Australia in the Asia-Pacific region:

Trailer for Brian Williams’ coverage is out - vague, personality-based, and no sets seen.

I wonder if the TV coverage here is a reason why their sister paper (WaPo) is not endorsing anyone this year?

Is that only in the US?

I personally like how they aren’t endorsing presidential candidates, newspapers and television news should not be endorsing candidates as they are supposed to be telling the news unbiased, not supporting one or the other.

I see many people especially on the left upset about this, the only way they would be happy is if they endorsed Kamala.

Yes that’s true but on an editorial page you would expect them to editorialize which by definition means giving an opinion. The danger is presenting opinion as news: that’s the domain of Fox and Sky.

Just all stock footage based. I’m assuming he’s just hosting the whole time and there won’t be anyone else other than interview guests?

Without getting into another argument this isn’t one side v another. This is a lunatic dictator Nazi v a politician.

Are you saying you support Trump?

Did anyone watch The choice 2024 documentary?

Waleed reporting from Michigan as part of the projects coverage of the US election.

I wonder why 10 haven’t sent any other reporters over. Kathryn Firkin has been filing but doesn’t travel to the battlegrounds and do any original reporting. She voices sorties and even her sign off doesn’t mention where she is so it might as well be voiced from Australia even though she’s in NYC. Last time they sent Hugh Riminton to supplement their US correspondents’ reporting.

On another note has their been any reporting of the racist and offensive commentary from Trumps faux Nazi rally? There’s been just generic reports that he held the rally but nothing about some of the most disgusting things that were said by all the speakers there.

Seven had a report detailing most of the major comments made.
