Maine caucus night coverage plans

CNN's live coverage of the Maine caucus will begin tomorrow night at 6 p.m. 5:30 p.m. ET* with a special edition of The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer at 6 p.m. followed by the network's official caucus coverage at 7 p.m.

Per the CNN presser:

CNN chief political analyst Gloria Borger and senior political analyst David Gergen, along with political contributors David Frum and Donna Brazile, will offer insight and analysis during the special programming. CNN political reporter Shannon Travis will be live on location with the Maine Republican Party, where the results of the caucuses will be announced in Portland, Maine. Correspondent Mary Snow will report from Ron Paul headquarters in Maine, senior congressional correspondent Dana Bash will cover the latest on the straw poll results live from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington and White House correspondent Brianna Keilar will provide reaction from the Obama campaign.

UPDATE: CNN coverage was orginally scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. ET but will now begin at 5:30 p.m. as the Maine GOP now intends to release results within the 6 o' clock hour, per Washington bureau chief Sam Feist:

MSNBC also moved its live coverage from 6 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET, with Chris Hayes anchoring.

Per the MSNBC presser:

Hayes will be joined by Melissa Harris-Perry, Tulane Professor and MSNBC Contributor; Rick Tyler, Fmr. Gingrich spokesman and Sr. advisor to the Winning our Future Super Pac; Steve Kornacki, Salon; Perry Bacon, TheGrio.com; Cynthia Tucker, Prof. at Univ. of Georgia and Michael Brendan Dougherty, Business Insider.
