In an Election Night filled with historic "firsts" Queens Public Television provided Live Election coverage for the first time in its history. The landmark program was hosted by Victoria Schneps-Yunis publisher and editor of the Queens Courier. The program was fostered by QPTV's Board of Directors and brought to fruition by QPTV's Executive Director, Daniel Leone. Producer/Director John Collins assembled a team of professionals and volunteers and superbly coordinated and directed all aspects of the show.

Guests included former Borough President Claire Shulman, Rene Lobo former City Council Candidate, Debra Markell Candidate for Council, political commentator Michael Niebauer, Mark Weprin Candidate for the State Assembly and the Rev. Edwin C. Reed, Pastor of Morris Brown AME Church. Tom Long, Chairman of the Queens Conservative Party phoned in from the field as did Valerie Vazquez, Director of Communications for the NYC Board of Elections.

The program was well received by the community many of whom remarked that our production was very professional and rivaled that of network television.
