Haven’t watched much but have to say I’m preferring Seven’s coverage over Nine and I’m usually a Nine News viewer. Nine’s panel just seems to be talking over each other. Musher is doing a stellar job. Beats me why he isn’t Seven’s main anchor in Sydney.

From my observations, the ABC seems to be ahead of both Seven & Nine when it comes to the counting of seats. It’ll be quite interesting to see if this is also reflected in the ratings.
Nice to see that Nine have got their own network on in the background of a live cross. While (very briefly) flicking over to Seven they had ABC coverage on in the background of a live cross!

Advantage of having Antony Green looking at the raw numbers and making calls using his experience. No other producers in the country have his insights

Seven is actually great coverage. Nine is a snore fest. ABC has disinteresting people on.
It’s been great watching Chris Meers on Seven as he watches his seat, say what you like about Mark Latham - he’s a great analyser of the seats and knows them all very well, Jenny McAlister is pretty honest. Usher very good. I would have swapped Sean Berry and Mark Riley. Berry had no control over Barnaby and Meers arguing.

ABC coverage was playing in the background of Mark Burrows’ live cross on Nine. UPDATE: See post above.
Also unless I’ve missed something, it’s a pity Nine haven’t used Jayne Azzopardi at all during their coverage tonight. She did a teriffic job in 2015!

Azzopardi has been regularly used on Nine’s election coverages over the years. Her former role as a Federal Parliament reporter makes her perfect for a role on tonight’s coverage.

As does hosting a show about Married at First Sight. Great journalistic credibility!
Yeah, I’ve certainly expressed my disappointment about Nine’s use of Jayne as a presenter of that rubbish “Talking Married” program on these forums before. But she’s still a really good presenter/journalist who we should be seeing on-air tonight IMO.

Deborah Knight a great performer with Overton stepping back it seems. Goes to show Georgie doesn’t resonate on Today.

Peter silent and weak panel with no energy. Deborah the highlight.

Precisely.
How he is so popular with Sydney radio listeners (particularly after that interview where he disgracefully treated Louise Herron) is beyond me.
