I always expected that there would be increased daytime coverage during the election - the reporters will be out and about anyway and they'll be plenty of speeches to dip into, plus there are usually some non-leader debates in the day time schedule too. It's probably relatively cheap content of high PSB value at a time of likely increased viewing. It's a no-brainer really and was probably factors into the budget cuts. I suspect there is a budget for election coverage outside the annual budget to.
