CNN’s Election Night Streaming-Only Live Cast
CNN will offer a unique election night experience with a streaming-only live cast hosted by Harry Enten. Unlike the traditional cable coverage, this program targets younger, digital audiences through CNN’s subscription-based “All Access” service.
Hosts and Format
Harry Enten will lead a panel featuring radio host Charlamagne tha God, conservative podcaster and author Ben Shapiro, and technology journalist Kara Swisher. Rather than a formal desk setup, the group will casually discuss voting results while sitting on couches, sharing food and drinks.
Project Leadership and Goals
“We are excited to build upon CNN’s best-in-class election coverage and provide a unique and more casual experience for subscribers to CNN’s new streaming service,” says Abigail Crutchfield, CNN senior vice president of Washington and special-events programming, who is spearheading the project.
The aim is to deliver streaming viewers an unfiltered, intelligent, and engaging conversation featuring prominent media voices as election results develop.
Viewing Details
- The special will air starting at 8:30 p.m. Eastern on the “All Access” streaming platform.
- The program will not be accessible to traditional cable TV viewers.
