US Presidential Election 2008

Join Livestation for THE live, interactive election party

Livestation is inviting all followers of the US election to join a global, interactive TV party as America votes for its next president. And, because some of Livestation’s partner broadcasters will have producers in the chat room, your comments might just make it on air.

So you could have an impact on what gets discussed on the live TV output. And unlike other chat, the discussion is in the same player that’s streaming the live TV output, not locked away in a web page or floating disconnected from the action.

To take part in a discussion you need to have your Livestation player open, click the downward pointing arrow at the top of the screen and enter the chat room

Our partner channels are all preparing election night programmes, here are some of the highlights:
