A primetime schedule rebuilt around one night围绕一个夜晚重排的晚间时段
The 2026 midterm elections pre-empt or shift a large part of the Tuesday primetime schedule. TVLine reports that Dancing with the Stars moved its Disney Night a day earlier than usual and that the NCIS universe is airing no new episodes this week, as several networks clear space for election coverage. All 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats are on the ballot, and 36 states also hold gubernatorial races, according to TVLine.2026年中期选举打乱或让出了周二晚间时段的大部分安排。TVLine报道，《Dancing with the Stars》的迪士尼之夜比往常提前一天播出，《NCIS》系列本周没有新集，多家电视网为选举报道腾出时段。据 TVLine，全部435个众议院席位与35个参议院席位进入选举，另有36个州举行州长选举。
Coverage starts in the late afternoon on cable and runs past midnight on the broadcast networks. The Hollywood Reporter puts the night under a single heading: Tuesday, Nov. 3, with select coverage running through the early hours of Nov. 4. Neither report gives times in any zone other than Eastern and Pacific, and neither publishes a minute-by-minute schedule of when individual races are expected to be called. The Hollywood Reporter frames the night as a streaming problem as much as a scheduling one, and builds its guide around services rather than around programmes.有线频道的报道从下午晚些时候开始，无线电视网的报道则延续到午夜之后。《The Hollywood Reporter》把整晚归在一个标题下：11月3日周二，部分报道持续到11月4日凌晨。两篇报道都只给出东部时间与太平洋时间，也都没有列出各项选举预计何时被判定结果的逐分钟时间表。该报把这晚既当作排播问题，也当作流媒体问题来处理，指南围绕服务而不是围绕节目展开。
ABC, CBS and NBC, and where each one streamsABC、CBS 与 NBC，以及各自的流媒体入口
ABC's Election Night: Vote 2026 begins at 7 p.m. ET and runs to 2 a.m. ET, with David Muir leading coverage. TVLine lists Mary Bruce, Linsey Davis, Jonathan Karl, Martha Raddatz, Rachel Scott and Pierre Thomas among the ABC News journalists reporting. Both papers note that ABC's primetime coverage streams on Disney+ and Hulu.ABC 的《Election Night: Vote 2026》从东部时间晚7点开始，持续到凌晨2点，由 David Muir 主持。TVLine 列出 Mary Bruce、Linsey Davis、Jonathan Karl、Martha Raddatz、Rachel Scott 与 Pierre Thomas 等 ABC News 记者参与报道。两篇报道都提到，ABC 的晚间选举报道可在 Disney+ 与 Hulu 上观看。
CBS opens America Decides: Election 2026 at 7 p.m. ET, co-anchored by Tony Dokoupil and Norah O'Donnell, according to TVLine, which adds Gayle King, Margaret Brennan and other CBS News political reporters to the roster. The Hollywood Reporter notes that Paramount+ carries the CBS coverage, and that CBS News 24/7 streams throughout the day on CBSNews.com, the CBS News app, YouTube and Paramount+. NBC's Decision '26 runs 13 hours from 5 p.m. ET, with most stations joining at 6:30 p.m. ET, and Peacock adds a multiview feed from 5:30 p.m. ET. The Hollywood Reporter puts the end of that block at 6 a.m. ET on Nov. 4, twelve hours after most stations join.据 TVLine，CBS 的《America Decides: Election 2026》于东部时间晚7点开始，由 Tony Dokoupil 与 Norah O'Donnell 共同主持，Gayle King、Margaret Brennan 及其他 CBS News 政治记者也参与其中。《The Hollywood Reporter》提到，CBS 的报道在 Paramount+ 同步播出，CBS News 24/7 全天在 CBSNews.com、CBS News 应用、YouTube 与 Paramount+ 上直播。NBC 的《Decision '26》从东部时间下午5点起播出13小时，多数地方台在晚6点30分接入，Peacock 从晚5点30分起提供多画面观看。该报把这段报道的结束时间定在11月4日东部时间早6点，即多数地方台接入之后的十二小时。
Fox keeps its scripted night, Fox News does notFox 主频道保留剧集，Fox News 不保留
The Fox broadcast network is not carrying election coverage. TVLine reports that Best Medicine and Doc air as scheduled at 8 p.m. ET and 9 p.m. ET, both back after Fox's World Series coverage kept them off the air the previous week.Fox 无线主频道不播出选举报道。TVLine 报道，《Best Medicine》与《Doc》按原定时间在东部时间晚8点与晚9点播出；两剧上周因 Fox 转播世界大赛而停播，本周恢复。
Fox News Channel, a separate cable network, runs Democracy 26 from 6 p.m. ET with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum as co-anchors. TVLine lists Harris Faulkner, Harold Ford Jr., Trace Gallagher, Sean Hannity, Bill Hemmer, Brit Hume, Laura Ingraham, Kayleigh McEnany, Dana Perino, Sandra Smith, Jessica Tarlov and Jesse Watters as contributors to that coverage. The two papers never treat the broadcast network and the cable channel as the same outlet, and the split is the one place where a viewer with an antenna and a viewer with a cable package see different programmes. TVLine's account is also the only one of the two that mentions the scripted shows at all.Fox News Channel 是另一家有线频道，从东部时间晚6点起播出《Democracy 26》，由 Bret Baier 与 Martha MacCallum 共同主持。TVLine 列出 Harris Faulkner、Harold Ford Jr.、Trace Gallagher、Sean Hannity、Bill Hemmer、Brit Hume、Laura Ingraham、Kayleigh McEnany、Dana Perino、Sandra Smith、Jessica Tarlov 与 Jesse Watters 参与该频道报道。两篇报道始终没有把无线主频道与有线频道混为一谈，这一区分也正是天线观众与有线订户看到不同节目的地方。在两篇报道中，也只有 TVLine 提到这两部剧集。
CNN starts first, NewsNation finishes earliestCNN 最早开播，NewsNation 最早收尾
CNN's Election Night in America begins at 4 p.m. ET, with Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper co-anchoring from Washington, D.C. The Hollywood Reporter gives the same start as 1 p.m. PT, and TVLine adds the reporting roster: David Axelrod, Dana Bash, Pamela Brown, Erin Burnett, David Chalian, Laura Coates, Kaitlan Collins, Tom Foreman, Kasie Hunt, Scott Jennings, Van Jones, John King and Boris Sanchez.CNN 的《Election Night in America》从东部时间下午4点开始，Jake Tapper 与 Anderson Cooper 在华盛顿共同主持。《The Hollywood Reporter》把同一时间写作太平洋时间下午1点；TVLine 补充了报道阵容：David Axelrod、Dana Bash、Pamela Brown、Erin Burnett、David Chalian、Laura Coates、Kaitlan Collins、Tom Foreman、Kasie Hunt、Scott Jennings、Van Jones、John King 与 Boris Sanchez。
MS Now's We the People begins at 6 p.m. ET with Rachel Maddow leading, a start time both papers give in Eastern terms. NewsNation runs from 7 p.m. ET to midnight ET, the shortest window of the cable outlets listed here, and the only one that ends before the broadcast networks do. Both papers date the whole night to Tuesday, Nov. 3. NewsNation is also the only outlet whose window both papers state as a closing time rather than as a programme length.MS Now 的《We the People》从东部时间晚6点开始，由 Rachel Maddow 主持，两家媒体都以东部时间给出这一时刻。NewsNation 从东部时间晚7点播到午夜，是这里列出的有线频道中时段最短、也是唯一早于无线电视网收尾的一家。两篇报道都把整晚定在11月3日周二。它也是唯一一家由两家媒体以结束时间、而非以节目长度来界定时段的有线频道。
Three live TV services and one gap三家直播电视服务与一处缺口
DirecTV, Fubo and Hulu + Live TV carry most of the night for viewers without a traditional TV plan. The Hollywood Reporter reports that DirecTV and Hulu + Live TV carry CNN and MS Now while Fubo does not, and that DirecTV and Fubo each offer a five-day free trial for new subscribers.对于没有传统电视套餐的观众，DirecTV、Fubo 与 Hulu + Live TV 承担了整晚的大部分收看需求。《The Hollywood Reporter》报道，DirecTV 与 Hulu + Live TV 提供 CNN 与 MS Now，Fubo 不提供；DirecTV 与 Fubo 都为新订户提供五天免费试用。
The Hollywood Reporter lists DirecTV packages from $20.99 a month, Fubo at $54.99 for the first month and $64.99 after that, and Hulu + Live TV from $89.99 a month with Disney+ and ESPN+ bundled. It calls live TV streaming services such as DirecTV "the streamlined choice to watch it all in one place" next to the network apps, and notes that Peacock, Disney+/Hulu and Paramount+ simulcast select coverage for NBC, ABC and CBS respectively, without saying which hours are excluded. Each trial is described as available to new subscribers, and neither paper says whether a payment method is required up front.《The Hollywood Reporter》列出的价格是：DirecTV 套餐每月20.99美元起，Fubo 首月54.99美元、之后每月64.99美元，Hulu + Live TV 每月89.99美元起并捆绑 Disney+ 与 ESPN+。该报把 DirecTV 这类直播电视服务称为一次看全的省事选择，并提到 Peacock、Disney+/Hulu 与 Paramount+ 分别同步播出 NBC、ABC 与 CBS 的部分内容，但没有说明哪些时段不在同步之列。两家都把免费试用描述为面向新订户，也都没有说明是否需要预先绑定支付方式。
What the two guides leave open两份指南没有交代的部分
Neither report says when the first race calls are expected, how long each network will stay on air after its announced finish, or whether any of the specials will break for local news. The only fixed points are the start times, the streaming routes and the date. A viewer who wants the whole night in one place needs a service that carries CNN and MS Now, which rules out Fubo on the evidence both papers give. Neither paper says whether the specials are repeated later in the week, and neither gives a start time for a pre-show or a digital-only component.两篇报道都没有说明首批结果预计何时判定、各台在公布的结束时间之后还会播多久，也没有说明特别节目是否会插入本地新闻。可以确定的只有开始时间、流媒体入口和日期。想把整晚在一个地方看完的观众，需要一家同时提供 CNN 与 MS Now 的服务；按两篇报道给出的信息，Fubo 不在其列。两家也都没有说明这些特别节目是否会在本周稍后重播，或是否设有预热节目与纯数字端内容。
