NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Former "NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Brokaw will join his successor, Brian Williams, and senior political analyst Tim Russert on November 7 for NBC News' coverage of the midterm elections.

Election-day coverage will begin on "Today" with Matt Lauer in Washington and Meredith Vieira in New York and with help from Russert and Brokaw.

Cable news sibling MSNBC will have coverage all day beginning at 9 a.m., with Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Tucker Carlson and Joe Scarborough anchoring with Williams, Russert, David Gregory and Andrea Mitchell. A live edition of "Hardball" on election eve will begin at 7 p.m. and be offered to NBC affiliates. Olbermann and Matthews will begin coverage on MSNBC at 6 p.m. ET and go through the night, with a number of other NBC Uni journalists helping out.

Meanwhile, Fox News Channel said it would send Shepard Smith on the road Tuesday for its "You Decide 2006" tour. Smith, who was on the road several times this year with "Studio B" and "The Fox Report" for the channel's 10th anniversary, will be in Escondido, Calif., Tuesday. The show is traveling to Overland Park, Kan., Chesterfield, Mo., Germantown, Tenn., and Patterson, N.J.

Who does Fox have? SHEPARD SMITH. Ugh. Wassamatta Brit? Won't like the results?

1. "Wassamatta Brit? Won't like the results?"

Hmmmm...

Now THAT's food for thought. "Lead Anchor Slinks Away From Election Night Coverage."

Way to be like, Brit. You coward.

2. "Olbermann and Matthews will begin coverage on MSNBC at 6 .."

I think I'll watch that. Yeah, that's what I'll watch - you know, since Brit is taking a pass...
