Election Night Coverage

For the last few decades, I’ve been an armchair critic of election-night coverage, watching developments along with the rest of New Zealand. Tomorrow night, I’m getting out of the armchair and giving everyone at home a chance to return the favour.

I’ll be joining Duncan Garner, Ani O’Brien and Maurice Williamson for the Editor-in-Chief Election Night Coverage, live on YouTube from 7pm on Saturday, 7 November.

For years, election night has been the preserve of the big TV networks so I’m particularly excited to be part of the new media take on it. We’ll follow the results as they come in, dig into the electorate races and work through who’s got the numbers to govern. There’ll be plenty of analysis, a lot of laughs and, knowing this panel, the odd difference of opinion. We’ll say what we think and call it as it happens – and we’ll keep going for as long as there’s a story to tell.

I’ll add the direct link to this post as soon as I have it – but it will be easy to find. Just search YouTube for ‘Duncan Garner’ or ‘Editor-in-Chief’.

If you’ve got a question you’d like us to tackle or an observation about the night – just drop it in the comments and I’ll bring a few into the conversation where I can. Keep it clean enough to read aloud – Maurice will be there, so we’ve already got one disciplinary risk.

See you at seven.
