Central Florida News 13 will start broadcasting results beginning at 7 p.m. The cable news station will also be hosting a live chat beginning at 6 p.m.

WRDQ-TV 27, sister station to WFTV-Channel 9, will offer a one-hour special “Central Florida Spotlight” beginning at 9 p.m. Expect to see Eyewitness News reporters as well as local politicos giving their analysis of the results.
