There is a 30 minute bulletin after the AFL (possibly it might be extended to cover speeches, etc). Saw it on the guide on the SCA website

Cool - have been without FTA TV for the last month due to renos at home and have only had the YouTube bulletins to keep up. Has been a very quiet election period, haven’t seen any ads because of that.

Very lucky. Although I wouldn’t imagine it would be as bad if Clive Palmer was somehow involved in the election, and you saw his ad’s twice in every ad break.

Sky News will also have election coverage from 6pm until 10:30pm, presented by Kieran Gilbert.

Hopefully Southern Cross will have better election lower-thirds than Seven has used in previous elections.
Possibly a stupid question, but with the Russia terrorist attack and then Princess Kate bombshell, are there any changes or potentially for this evening and/or tomorrow? Let alone Tas election and normal network programs. @TV.Cynic
I recall Seven especially and Nine at least during COVID as well as anything major with the Royals (like recent royal funerals and coronation) do special Saturday 7pm bulletins or rolling coverages in day time, sometimes into prime time.

Seven has AFL, so I imagine that any special coverage would be limited to NSW/QLD, or AFL can be shifted to 7Mate (highly unlikely).
If Seven did have special coverage, 7 Tas could split away during breaks and do election updates, plus their special at 10:30pm.
ABC isn’t overly invested in the royal circus as the commercials (apart from the Queen’s death), so I imagine that there would be coverage in bulletins on the NC and the 7pm news.

7 Tasmania being live captioned by Red Bee Media tonight, according to the captions at the start of the bulletin.
Usually manually captioned in-house.

Antony Green just mentioned that the construction of the ABC set only started yesterday.
Also apparently construction on the 1996 set (either Tasmania or Federal, didn’t catch the name) started on midnight of the polling day after a male stripper show.

Josh Duggan also did a live cross from the tally room to Seven News Melbourne this evening, chatting with Mike Amor.

You won’t see any pictures or footage from inside the Liberal or Labor functions tonight. They’ve both blocked the media from their events.
It means you won’t hear from lots of MPs and volunteers until the major parties give their speeches much later on tonight.
