On MSNBC, the normal scheduled was followed, with the anchors updating the election as results came in.

During “All In,” Chris Hayes was mid-interview when the Virginia projection popped up in the lower-third. There was no Brian Williams to countdown to the results at the top of each hour, as has become a tradition on the network for large election nights.
