I've been on the hunt for decent news streams so I can follow the US  
elections tomorrow when I wake up (in a few hours, we're into the  
early hours of Wednesday morning here Down Under...).

Best so far - on the hunt for BBC World, and found you need to pay to  
get it via RealPlayer - which is a horrid horrid thing, don't install  
it if you can help it. BUT!! JOY!!! I have found that with  
Livestation, which seems to be a flash-based player, BBC World, Al  
Jazeera, euronews and others are freely rebroadcast as live streams.  
This is a very good thing.

Also, MSNBC streams straight from their website.

So now I have a dilemma - the BBC's fabulously watchable coverage with  
David Dimbleby, Nic Gowing etc (unfortunately the mesmerising Peter  
Snow and his "swingometer" have retired as of the last British General  
Election), or the dry and wry production of MSNBC including the  
shiningly smart Rachel Maddow who is a breath of fresh air. Ah well, I  
have two screens here, maybe I'll channel hop, or have both running...
