On Tuesday, Everyplace Is Election Central

摘要

The 2008 presidential election has veered back and forth between news and entertainment throughout its long process. It's also provided many entertainment networks a platform for reaching interested viewers and delivering record ratings. It's only fitting that many of those networks are sticking with election coverage as the race nears its end. MTV is planning a slate of election-related news, programming and interstitials on Election Day. MTV News will have correspondents at the McCain and Obama headquarters to provide updates all day, and members of its Street Team '08 will be filing reports from their respective states online, with select reports appearing on the network. The network, which kicked off its election coverage in September 2007 with its "Choose or Lose" campaign, is also teaming up with CNN for at least two special reports featuring John King and his "magic wall," which will be used to track the youth vote. Viewers can also expect to see snarky overlays breaking into programming every half hour on Tuesday, reading, among other things, "Please go vote now. Love, MTV."
