Every network and cable news outlet will of course have extensive election night coverage, and some of them, chiefly MSNBC and CNN, will be wildly entertaining to watch if you-know-who pulls out a win, but at least one streaming service will also be covering the election.
Prime Video will be staying on top of what's going on that night, and a notorious "journalist" will reportedly be at the helm:
SCOOP @PuckNews: Amazon has signed BRIAN WILLIAMS to anchor election night coverage on Prime Video, per sources familiar.

This is Amazon’s first foray into news and Williams’ first return to anchor desk since NBC.

Variety reported a little earlier that Amazon Prime was in talks with Williams to host their fledgling election night coverage:

Yep, this one:
The NBC News investigation into the veracity of Brian Williams' personal stories is ongoing, but a list of examples is already starting to build. As these examples leak out, it's important to keep in mind that not every inconsistency in Williams' history qualifies as a lie. For instance, there are two examples of possible 'embellishment' that have surfaced recently, including Hurricane Katrina and Pope John Paul II, which only reflect minor inconsistencies. They are doubted narratives, not disputed ones. The reader might think twice about adding them to the list of Williams' wrongdoings simply because they've been reported on.
There are, however, three real examples that should raise red flags. They are:

Oh, the stories he could tell!

Brian Williams lied about being shot down in a helicopter https://t.co/iIMUGLciVK

Perhaps Williams will re-tell that story on election night.
Brian could also use a co-anchor...
Will they hire Dan Rather too?
