I like these election day graphics from our FOX affiliates.

Even though it's not a news channel, here is my absolute favorite. Science Channel's 2011 rebranding. My favorite part is the morphing logo and the chime at the end. It just makes the channel that much more awesome.

0:18 - I really like the Election music CBS used back in 2000/2004. It definitely fits the occasion.
On a sidenote: WOW, I watched this election coverage on ABC, but I didn't realize how CLOSE John Kerry was to defeating Bush. If he had of won Ohio, he very well would have.

I also like NBC, they used this in 2008 and are using it again for 2012.

For the National Tier:

I love The Weather Channel's 1998-2001 graphics/music package before their "Live By It" revamp, especially the "Weather Center PM" one.

I think the only package that stands out in the 2001-2005 era was "Evening Edition". Actually sounds like a weather bulletin.

I also love hearing the 2004-current music package on ABC's overnight show "World News Now". (See the first 7 seconds and the last 20 seconds of this news story video)

As for the local packages, it's mostly "The Spirit of Texas" news music/graphic packages on WFAA-TV.
