I too hate it when people wish me “Merry Christmas”.
Did you actually see it? If you did, you would know I am talking about the theme being cut off to play some other music instead.
No I didn’t see it, but I can’t think of a reason why after 40 seconds already that 10 seconds more of a news theme would be preferable to a Christmas greeting.
I fear a day when the answer is no.
For what it’s worth, a cap from the end of the Seven News version seen here in Sydney and probably all other capital cities tonight:
…and incase if you were wondering if the on-set Christmas tree made a return tonight, it did but only for the Opening Wideshot:
Paul does that every night he presents and usually the male news anchor will wave back.
Seven News Sydney:
Opener:
Closer:
7 Morning news just used the Sydney 6pm closer theme for its closer today.
Who would notice or even care?
I noticed. You cared enough to reply
That’s interesting… No local 4.30 Perth News today… The first half hour 4.00 News finished, but went back to the National set during the Ad break, with a “If you just joined us” welcome.
Edit: Oh wait, maybe because of the Christmas/New Year break and they might not do local Afternoon News till next year?
Maybe… Melbourne is still running its local Afternoon News Hour.
That is what Nine News Queensland do but Seven News Queensland also still has their local Afternoon news on. Perhaps there is a lack of staff ATM over in 7 Perth.
There was a local News update shortly after, but it felt like a Afternoon News preview, so I’m not completely sure, but 6.00 is as always definitely going ahead.
The TV Man Mascot has been around for nearly 12 years!
Hard to believe he still exists.
Morning News from yesterday (Capped from 7HD Sydney):
Nick McCallum choked up while presenting a report on the stars that were lost in 2016 tonight.
Any video?
