    1. We watched the ABC coverage as most people normally do on election nights and thought it was pretty good. Would not ever enter our minds to watch it on commercial TV.

    2. ABC’s Antony Green called the result long before 7 or 9. Was interesting that when 7 and 9 did live crosses to someone somewhere ABC was on the big screens in the background.

  2. I have not even turned on the TV today….trying to cull catchup programs….just watched Landline from March 10th…..I will watch some ABC News later….and definitely Insiders tomorrow..

  4. I’m in Victoria, so I will be watching the NSW Elections on ABC News as it will have an impact on this year’s Federal Election. And I just hope that the Call of the Board in the NSW Elections are better than the Call of the Board in the Victorian Elections last year when gremlins struck and had to be cut short.

    1. I suspect, like previous elections, Alan Jones will just do a cross or two from Sky’s Sydney CBD studio located next door to Seven’s studio in Martin Place, but sit for most of the night on Seven’s desk.

      1. Precisely. No need for new makeup, maybe just a change of tie.

        For those interstate, this is Sky News’ lavish Sydney studio in the corner of the Seven building at Martin Place. The nerve centre of their coverage:
