DIRECTV will enhance the Election Day viewing experience for customers regardless of how DIRECTV is delivered to their homes. Election HQ will feature live feeds of FOX News, CNN, MSNBC and Newsmax alongside statistics like Senate and House breakdowns by party and state-by-state Presidential projections powered by the Associated Press.
The coverage and statistics will feature the latest news on the presidential election, as well as other important national and state elections and important ballot initiatives across several states.
DIRECTV streaming customers using a Gemini or Gemini Air device will have access to the same simultaneous news feeds but through a preloaded app that will automatically appear in their “Featured Apps” carousel. The election app marks the beta test for multiview functionality on a DIRECTV streaming platform.
DIRECTV satellite customers with a Genie device will be able to access “Election HQ” that will be identical on channels 71 and 200.
Both the app and the mix channel will be available across DIRECTV platforms from November 4 until the presidential election results are definitive.
