“Dancing with the Stars,” “FBI” and other shows are off the air

If you’ll be looking for a break while you wait for the results on election night next Tuesday, November 5, to find out whether Kamala Harris or Donald Trump is the next president of the United States, you won’t be able to get it from your favorite weekly shows.

Broadcast networks will be airing election night specials throughout prime time (and beyond, even into the morning in some cases), so if you’re looking for other content, you’ll have to turn to streaming ( the good thing is that prime time shows are all available on one service).

Below, find out what will (and won’t) air on election night, and stay tuned for any updates for the rest of the week if the final results don’t come out on November 5 or before the following evening.

ABC

Instead of two hours of Dancing with the stars and one of High potentialABC will be broadcast Election night 2024: Your voice/Your vote on November 5. It will start at 8/7c and go through at least 3 a/2c.
