Both CBC News Network and CTV News Channel are covering the Manitoba election tonight.  I like to have a look at coverage for provincial elections if only to see how the local CBC and CTV affiliates handle this and how much effort they put into local coverage.

CTV had a slick opening at 9pm and seem to have a large contingent of on air people.  Their headquarters is located in studio.

CBC's opening was more historic with clips from past election nights and they have opted to anchor from the rotunda of the Manitoba Legislative Building which is an impressive structure inside.

Both networks are heavy with computer graphics and CTV has lined itself up with Environics Analytics.
