In the case of the Senedd election, I suspect part of that might have boiled down to how there were still some Covid regulations to a degree in place at the time (what with Wales moving at a slower pace out of the second lockdown)
Don’t recall there being a Wales-only results show for the council elections the following year.
Covered both of those for local radio - and the Senedd election in particular was at a snail’s pace with the time-consuming business of verification (we covered two constituencies - neither came in till the 5/6pm hour even though the result in both Plaid strongholds was abundantly clear)
