ELECTION DAY - FINALLY!

Of course the story of the day is the PM voting - TV6, CNMG and CNC 3 started with that. Wendell Constantine a different face - reading news/ pulling the elections elements together for CNMG. No sign of Naette and Charlene Ramdhanie. C has Golda Lee at COP headquarters in Chaguanas; Curtis Williams at Balisier House; and Hema Ramkissoon at Rienzi Complex.

They all had Basdeo Panday, Winston Dookeran and Jack Warner as well as some of the voting irregularities.
Shelly why were you shouting at your audience? Sampson Nanton had their story on the Pandays. CNMG also had a story out of Toco Manzanilla.

TV6's Bobbi Jeffrey-Hicks is at the PNM's headquarters at Balisier House. What happened to Charlene Stuart? She has been covering the PNM for the entire campaign. Well Media Watch did say they would have to find some work for Bobbi this week. Karen Cozier Phillip gave the first set of results at 7:10 from a polling station in St Augustine.

The CNC has Satesh Mahabir at the COP headquarters and Marcia Braveboy in St Augustine, Francesca Hawkins at UNC's Rienzi Complex, and Neil Beekhee at the PNM office in Tabaquite. And they have sports anchor ROGER SANT at Balisier House. What about Sampson Nanton? Where is he at?

At 7:15 WIN TV went to a music video on Brian Lara. What gives? Then we saw Gideon Hanoomansingh reading the news and eventually interviewing Robin Montano and Nizam Mohammed.

TV6 had a story on youth/first time voters, as well as those who chose to stay away and go to the beach instead. Interesting. Then live to Sasha Mohammed at Rienzi Complex. Posture Sasha. Stand up straight. At 7:30 TV6 went to a telephone report from Marcia Hope in Mayaro giving some preliminary results.

CNMG's Hema Ramkissoon at Rienzi Complex looks very tired. Her face is very shiny and she looks like a deflated balloon. Maybe she just needs to sit down and catch her breath.

WIN TV, CNC3 and CNMG all have nice graphics with the candidates, but TV6 what's up with yours?

And Shelly continues to shout at her audience and she is speaking realllly fast. Why? The excitement must be getting to you too, but keep it on the down low for your viewers.
CNMG live to Curtis Williams at Balisier House.

TV6 why did you go with a full sportscast on a night like this? Why not just give the main sports headlines and stick to election stories. Think outside the box.

CNC's Roger Sant spoke with John Donaldson at Balisier House, but that did not look like live video. They are close enough to Port of Spain to ferry tapes back and forth. Live to Francesca Hawkins at Rienzi.

Karen Cozier Phillip on the phone again from St Augustine for TV6.
CNMG kudos to you - your panel taking in the results on lap top computers as they come in and giving instant analysis.

TV6 recapped headlines at 8.05 then went to Andy Johnson with his panellists. TV6 went to Keisha David at COP headquarters in Chaguanas live. Went to Charlene Stuart on the phone, but she was not hearing Andy so they cut her out and came back to her a little later.
