Totally.

But they could do a morning newscast here based off cbs resources and they don’t.

It’s just an off kilter relationship.

Costs more to do that everyday than get a crew in a few days every four years to cover a few debates + an election which they can utilise their partners resources for.

It doesn’t cost much.

You could do a headlines every 15 minutes service with three people. Fill out the 15 with cbs stories.

Australia’s success is inextricably linked to the US. They are our number one ally geopolitically and if their economy tanks then ours will. The economy is extremely important. We will find ourselves very poor if the US economy goes to shit under the Trump policies. This is very very significant in so many ways and can impact our own finances.

I applaud all the networks covering this. The US does election coverage exceptionally well.

Thought SBS would go with ABC America given they air World News Tonight with David Muir as part of their news programming.

Hugh Riminton reported tonight from Washington DC tonight with a report and a look live cross.

Kathryn Firkin has been deployed to Florida and filed a report from Miami. She did some original reporting, vox pops etc. Good to see.

They then used the video wall in studio for Taylor Ryan to go through some polling and you gov modeling.

I still think they’re one reporter short over in the US for such a significant event. They didn’t cover the Friday night dueling rallies in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Kamala had a huge rally with a massive crowd and Cardi B and Trump had an unhinged meltdown with a 4 min rant about a broken microphone and other such nonsense.

It was actually a good run down tonight for a national bulletin.

Most likely due to a lot if international news happing at the moment.
