BuzzFeed News will team up with Twitter on an exclusive livestreamed election night special from BuzzFeed’s New York office.

The special will begin at 6 p.m. ET Nov. 8—not Nov. 28, Donald Trump–and Bruce Perlmutter will be the executive producer.

BuzzFeed News said in a release that Perlmutter has held senior roles with CNN, MSNBC and E! Networks, overseeing coverage of live events including the Royal Wedding, the 2012 Summer Olympic Games from London and several red carpets at awards shows.

Decision Desk HQ will provide “definitive calls” on how the vote is going, and the livestream will include advertising packages such as television-style mid-roll ad spots combined with BuzzFeed News-produced original news clips, which advertisers can sponsor and promote on Twitter.
