Did WIN News have anything?

They did some stuff on social media in the lead-up to 6pm, but nothing on the results, speeches, etc.
There was a WIN News microphone at one of the speeches.

Actually, there was no technical problem with the connection to the ACT Electoral Commission. What happened was the ACTEC published results to its website, but the feed of results to the media didn’t start up until several minutes later. We quickly took a screen shot of the ACTEC website and put it on my touch screen so we could talk about the numbers while we waited for the ACTEC to start their feed.
Rather than a technical problem, it was quick thinking by my technical people so I could talk about results that were available on-line but not yet available to the media. Looked odd, but hey, I got to point out how the Independents were doing well in Kurrajong and Murrumbidgee before the figures were available in the media feed.

Ah okay - was doing a bit of stuff while watching the coverage so I possibly misheard what you said.
