What is the best channel to watch for election coverage this time?

I know I will be very nervous throughout the night but hope to find coverage without a whole lot of nonsense from those covering it if possible.

I favor pharmaceuticals over behavior modification. I think it will have a more immediate effect. Also, blow darts, fun for the whole family.

Like Telemundo and Univision. I've chosen them the past three presidential elections because they don't talk about themselves like US MSM. They just show the candidates and how many votes. They called some states 15 - 20 minutes before CNN and MSNBC did, where the journalists were still talking about how they were covering the election.
You don't need to speak Spanish.

Local news for local races and propositions. Honestly, I'm going to try and pretend it's 2023, a normal election for normal things.
I already voted. Since I have to start work from home at 0530 the next morning and try to get the grandkids to school by 0730 so I can get to the office for my first morning meeting, I need to get to bed by 9:00 Pacific. I don't need the stress and doom scrolling.
I just need to know at 0530 on Wednesday if I'm going to have to look forward to navigating through an ongoing Party or a Smoking Hellscape over the next three months.

I found Fox to have the best crawl for results. I put TV on mute and listened to music.

I will be listening to Dr. Mary Trump and the Nerd Avengers on her You 'Tube Channel. Mute MSNBC, and be on DU.

I don't think we will know until Wednesday, also be ready for the felon to say he won. He will use his same lie.
