As far as I can tell, ABC, SBS, Nine, and Ten are live into Adelaide, but Seven seems to be on a 30 minute delay.

In Queensland the delay on Seven is one hour!!

But yes 10 is slightly ahead of Nine and both are 10 sec ahead of ABC. SBS is about 5 sec behind.

Seven is only live to AEDT states.

Excellent choice and national exposure for them. Both also being former US correspondents in recent years.

Yes, Nine had the debate live but instead of the Morning News in Adelaide. Today though wasn’t live as was originally scheduled. That’s what I was trying to say, sorry if it wasn’t clear.

I was just adding some information about Seven because you mentioned Adelaide. You were perfectly clear, thanks for the info in the first place :slight_smile:

The New York Times did a comprehensive fact check of the Trump-Biden debate. The collective conclusion appears to be that Trump lied, exaggerated or was misleading almost everytime he opened his mouth.

Fox News channel had the highest number of viewers (Fox showed live NFL at the same time as the debate), with ABC second and NBC third (NBC’s Kristen Welker was the moderator for the final debate).

Interestingly the live streams on Facebook has millions of views. The stream on Donald Trump’s Facebook page had 3.7 million views, the NBC News stream had 3 million views, ABC News had 7.2 million views, the CBS News stream had 3.9 million and USA Today had 1.7 million.

On YouTube C-SPAN had 9.1 million views, NBC News had 2.2 million, Fox News had 4.7 million and CNN 2.9 million. Many local television stations and newspapers in the US streamed the debate live on Facebook and YouTube and had views in the tens or hundreds of thousands.

The official television ratings only tell part of the story.

Nine will probably use CNN as their main source one thinks given 7 will use nbc, 10 with cbs and SBS with abc.

Do nine still have the rights to abc America content. In the past they’ve also accessed CNN.
