CBS News To Broadcast Election Night Coverage From Times Square
Ted Johnson CBS News will broadcast on Election Night from Times Square for the first time, in ViacomCBS’s headquarters at 1515 Broadway.The biggest scrutiny, though, will be on how the networks characterize the state of the race and at what point they will declare a winner. One of the biggest concerns has been of candidates declaring victory based on election night totals, even though big chunks of mail-in votes remain to be counted.The network’s decision desk, led by Anthony Salvanto, will feature an Election Night Tracker that combines exit poll data and vote tallies along with the network’s polling.
