What was the exact moment media outlets knew Donald Trump would win?

Was it when he won Ohio?
When the Michigan polls closed?
I'm trying to remember the EXACT moment the liberals went from celebrating Hillary to, "oh crap he might win."

The NYT had, by far, the best election coverage online. They had models updating every second based on previous voting trends in districts with percentage predictions for every state and for the Electoral College updating real time. Trump went from about 20% chance of winning the EC to a 60% chance when the South Florida districts reported. Then he jumped to 99% when the first districts for Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin came in.
The cable and broadcast networks were a few hours behind.

I remember Ohio seemed like a really big deal on TV.

For all the "fake news" shite they catch on here, their election site was incredible.

Not a fan of NYT, but they were indeed the most up to date and most accurate on predicting the deal. I heard somebody on Fox News say about 6:10 that exit polls in Michigan were going heavy Trump it really caught my attention, but those NYT probabilities flipped from 20% to 60% around 9:15 and that's when the ball really started rolling everywhere elese.

I walked home from work in Seattle that night at around 5:00pm thinking Hillary was going to win
30 minutes later around 5:30pm Pacific Time I was about to go to bed and my dad called me. Thought he was calling to lament Hillary's win with me, but actually called to say that Trump was going to win Florida
I turned on the TV after that

PA and WI when Wolf was begging John to find votes for HRC on the magic wall. They held PA they were in such shock. I would say WI.

Wolf is so fricking retarded, I don't think he realized until well into Wednesday when everyone had to sit him down and explain it to him for 2 hours that Hillary wasn't going to be President.

8:30 to 9 PM is when the tide truly started turning in Trump's favor as the betting markets and stock markets detected a shift in voting patterns and that was reflected in the NY Times election night infographics which reflected that change as well at the same time.
Trump winning Florida and North Carolina made it a ball game, then winning Wisconsin jaws practically the dagger moment and it was just a matter of waiting for Pennsylvania to be called then.
Those 30 minutes between 8:30 and 9 PM was the most important 30 minutes in a generation.

John King to Wolf Blitzer, during the early morning hours:
Looking at this board, Wolf, we have to consider the very real possibility that Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States.

They didn't tell us until Hillary threw in the towel.

i knew it was going Trump's way when he won Ohio.... the media was holding to any shred of hope for a miracle, though, it seemed...
but yeah, many of the pundits, once Michigan went Trump, started calling the election in favor of Trump....

I remember watching the Stephen Colbert special when the 2 guys from Showtime told Colbert that the NYT was giving Trump a 95% chance. IIRC that was right about the time that Florida was called for Trump. I think that is when the media knew that TRUMP! would win.

When I heard someone on Fox say that Trump had more paths to 270 than Hillary.
What????? Can't be, Trump had to thread the needle. Really picked up after that.
I recently watched 2-3 hours of Election Night coverage from ABC on Youtube. Greatest upset!
