Today is the GE 13 polling day. Many TV stations and media companies are busy doing coverage of the GE 13. Journalists are posted at most polling centres around the country to provide coverage on the polling day events from the polling period to the results.
TV1 and TV3 air hourly news updates on the election by calling its journalists who are at polling centres. TV9 did the same as other stations by airing "Berita TV9 Detik ini", but these updates air irregularly (closer to the first commercial break of the programme) unlike others.
TV9's "Detik ini" brand is rarely used and is used only for breaking
news. NTV7 on the other hand prefers updates direct from its reporters instead of being guided by presenters in the studio like other stations did. Meanwhile NTV7's Mandarin news, 8TV and China Press newspaper together give coverage on the election in Mandarin through 8TV's election results programme in the evening.
Astro Awani airs updates on the polling day from Studio 1 Astro Bukit Jalil instead of from its regular production centre at Bukit Kewangan Kuala Lumpur. It even launched its very own GE 13 app for iOS and Android.
A majority of TV stations will start airing election results. Astro Awani will start at 5:00 pm with news and analysis and also an English news programme at 12:00 am-1:30 am; TV1 at 6:00 pm; TV3 in Malay and NTV7 in English will start at 6:00 pm; Astro AEC with Polling Night, Astro Vaanavil with Thertal and 8TV in Mandarin will start at 7:00 pm, TV9 at 8:00 pm; TV Alhijrah at 8:30 pm and Bernama TV at 9:30 pm.
