TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

Election coverage, everywhere. This historic race has captured big ratings in the U.S. and big attention worldwide.

European networks have even hired American icons. Ted Koppel will analyze for BBC America; Dan Rather will do the same for a French channel.

ABC, CBS, NBC will start at 2 p.m. in most markets. They'll give local stations brief intervals each hour and 35 minutes at 10 p.m.

Fox starts at 3 p.m., PBS at 4.

Check listings for cable coverage from the old standbys — MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, CNBC and CSPAN — as well as BBC America, Comedy Central, BET and some foreign language channels, and at 2 p.m., Current will combine music (from DJ Diplo) with running commentaries via Twitter, www.12seconds.tv and www.Current.com.

OF NOTE

"WordGirl," 4 p.m., PBS. Becky is running for fifth-grade president. Kids learn the words "election" and "candidate"; they also learn about campaign tricks and schemes.

"90210," 7 p.m., CW (Oceanic Digital Channel 93). Harry (Rob Estes) finally tells his kids he has another child. Dixon takes the news calmly, but Annie rages during a sleepover.

"Nova: Missing in MiG Alley," 8 p.m., PBS. Using old footage and re-enactments, this rerun views the Korean War battles between jets built in the U.S. and the Soviet Union.

"Privileged," 8 p.m., CW. This might be a good time to notice this well-made and ignored show. Megan (JoAnna Garcia) had started to write a biography of Laurel (Anne Archer). Now Laurel takes over the project with a ghostwriter, but Megan keeps researching and learns a secret.

"Frank TV," 9 p.m., TBS. Planned as an election-night special, this is the show's best episode so far. Frank Caliendo skillfully portrays politicians.
