The Rockbridge Report, Washington and Lee University’s student-produced live cable TV newscast, will provide continuous updates on election night next Tuesday, with an election ticker at the bottom of the screen on Comcast Xfinity Channel 18 all evening long.
The students will be following both Rockbridge area races and statewide races.
Polls close in Virginia at 7 p.m. Tuesday and as soon as the numbers come in, the Rockbridge Report will draw on results from Virginia’s State Board of Elections site, as well as manually monitoring local municipalities’ websites for updated results.
In addition to the constant election ticker all evening long, Rockbridge Report anchors and reporters will provide 15-minute live news updates on Channel 18 at 7, 8:30 and 9:45 p.m. Reporters will have live coverage of the local Democratic and Republican parties’ election watch parties, as well as from CNN News Source and the Associated Press.
Each 15-minute newscast will be uploaded to the Rockbridge Report’s website, www.rockbridgereport. wlu.edu, so viewers can watch those newscasts later in the evening. The website will also have updated stories on statewide races in Virginia and the local races.
