Looks like they are in the GC News studio

Local update

I heard from Sharyn Ghidella saying that the Queen will not make it to the Metricon Stadium for the Gold Coast Games.

Was it a ‘scoop’ or ‘breaking news’? That has been known for some months.

Super_SC · April 4, 2018, 2:29am

I heard that Sharyn has been making updates on the Queen.

So are regional QLD viewers definitely not able to watch the Commonwealth Games in HD?

Has anyone tried calling 7QLD, asking if that could switch LCN 70 up there from 7mateHD to 7HD?

As 7QLD have such a huge share in regional QLD and with the Comm Games in QLD, therefore probably one of the biggest rating markets, it’s not treating viewers very well at all.

TV.Cynic · April 4, 2018, 4:31am

That’s correct.

And miss The Simpsons in HD?

Our future King and Queen.

Doctor: “And this patient has been quarantined for exposure to equine flu”

Camilla: “Oh good heavens I haven’t had my shot!”

I think that local update was aired nationally. We got that here Melbourne

‘Countdown To The Commonwealth Games’ coverage went 1 hour longer than originally scheduled today, to 3pm AEST rather than 2pm AEST due to the delay with the baton relay from the earlier protests at The Spit.

This update was a part of the coverage; it didn’t air separately within a commercial breaks like local updates normally do so of course it aired nationally.

I thought you were in Perth.

PS: And of course switching the HD signal from 7Mate to 70 would not work. LCN 70 is currently just a redirect to 7 so there is no bandwidth being used; Making 70 HD would mean an extra stream and bandwidth.

Hosted from there yesterday too.

BBC One Breakfast.

SydneyCityTV · April 4, 2018, 6:02am

I think that shot used by the BBC might be one of those ones that all rights holders can use?

Seven currently has that one streaming along with a shot from Surfers (lots of people taking photos there), Broadbeach (I think) and a location I’m not familiar with but looks to be somewhere near competition venues:

I guess lots of sporty regional Queenslanders will be paying for premium (HD) on the app then!

Can you cast 7CommGames or 7Plus>Live to TVs?

Jeffmister · April 4, 2018, 6:23am

The 7CommGames app has Airplay and Chromecast capabilities

littlegezzybear · April 4, 2018, 6:50am

This shows the farcical nature of these games.
