From Monday 4th to Friday 8th November, LBC’s Nick Ferrari at Breakfast will be live from Washington, D.C. for the final build up and full results of the 2024 US Election.
The News Agents team will also be in Washington to give in-depth coverage on the race. Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel, and Lewis Goodall, will produce a series of daily special episodes of The News Agents and The News Agents USA.
This will include an exclusive early-morning podcast as the results are announced on Wednesday 6th November. The team will stay in Washington to report on the aftermath of the result.
Following Britain Decides in July, LBC’s US election results programme, America Decides, is back, led by Shelagh Fogarty in London and The News Agents’ Jon Sopel in Washington.
From 10pm on Tuesday 5th November, they will report the latest results, news and analysis of the election. Throughout the seven-hour programme, they will be backed by Simon Marks, LBC’s US Correspondent, and a team of journalists across the USA, who will be following the Trump and Biden camps and reporting from key swing states, including Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia.
Shelagh and Jon will also be joined by leading figures who have been at the heart of US politics throughout recent administrations. The show will be live on LBC, and Global Player, as well as live on TikTok, and YouTube, and simulcast on LBC News.
From 5am to 10am on Wednesday 6th November, Nick Ferrari will continue the non-stop election coverage with a special extended edition of his show.
In the run up to the election, Matt Frei and Sunday with Lewis Goodall will be coming live from Washington on Saturday 2nd November, 10am to 1pm, and Sunday 3rd November, 10am to 12pm respectively.
