Of all the regular Toronto TV stations on Monday night, only one - the CBC - will have an election night special. Their "GTA Votes: Election Night 2026" airs from 7-10PM, followed by the National. Barring any glitches or a race that's literally down to a few hundred votes, we should know the winner in Toronto and Mississauga by then. 

Only CHCH in Hamilton will provide coverage for their area, with "Your Home, Your Vote" on from 9-11PM that night. 

The rest - CFTO, Global and City TV - have elected - you should pardon the expression - to stay with U.S. show simulcasts for the night, waiting for the 11 PM news to do any real reporting. (Although they may do quick cut-ins once the winner is named.) Most will have coverage on either their cable outlets (CP24) or their online streaming channels, like CityNews 24/7 or Global News Toronto 24/7.

On the radio, in addition to CBC Radio 1, Newstalk 1010 promises an extensive election night results show, while Ben Mulroney and Greg Brady will do the honours from 6:30-10 PM on AM640. 

There will also be a plethora of newspaper sites giving riding-by-riding tallies, updated by hitting the refresh key. 

Hopefully, they all give results from other GTA cities, like Vaughan, Newmarket, Oshawa etc. etc., because there's more than just the Toronto horse race on the line - although granted, it's the most interesting. 

So which one gets your vote Monday night? I'm probably going to rely on the radio, because evenings tend to be busy for me and I don't really have the time to sit and watch anything. And audio-only means I don't have to be distracted by a screen. 

Have you made a pick for watching this coverage? Will you just graze around until you find something that catches your attention? Or is this a case of just tell me the winner at 11 PM and be done with it?

Either way, Monday is going to be a busy night in newsrooms across this city.
