I imagine that the 8:00am bulletin will not be new and it will just be the existing bulletin that is on Radio National in Canberra.
Up until at least the late 1980ās the 7:45 bulletin was ānationalā. Hereās the opening to a rather momentous bulletin in 1987. Then at 7:55 there would be a different reader with the āQueensland Newsā except in NSW where the same reader would continue.
Some details about the decision and the thinking behind it:
Yes, I hope the extended news theme is now attached to the 7.00am bulletin, it would be a pity for it to vanish altogether. I can remember the days when there was 15 minutes of news on the national stations at 12.30pm and 7.00pm as well.
what happned to evenings with David Astle i just tuned into via the net and its got australia wide:S
Heās on after 7.
Forgive my ignorance, but why was 7:45 considered the flagship bulletin on the service? Having read posts up to the decision, I have some idea, but I canāt understand why the quarter-hour placement in any case.
It was very popular and IIRC ABC radioās only 15 minute bulletin
Richard Glover was talking about it last night. I think the 7.45 bulletin was introduced in about 1939 to enhance coverage of the Warā¦ so it is a bit of an āinstitutionā. However, listening patterns have changed; I imagine most working listeners would tune in earlier nowadays. Personally, I routinely get the 10-minute dollop of news at 7.00am on Classic.
also when asking to abc ballarat fbs page about inserting local stories at745 they have regional new stories that air in the longer state bullinetines
I didnāt realise the 7.45am bulletin has been going on for more than 80 years!
Interesting tweet, not sure if this is just Melbourne or national figures. But check out that peakā¦

Holiday shuffle at 774, David Astle goes to Breakfast, Ali Moore on mornings whilst Virginia does Q&A/7:30, Matt Preston on arvos, Iskhander Razak and Tamara Oudyn take a week each for Drive.
ā¦ radioinfo quoted a"former ABC Executive" as saying āit must have been a political decision to cut something that was high profile and would be noticed by the public and politiciansā. Of course the ABC tried that same stunt years ago with Behind the News and it backfired ā¦
Well isnāt that graph interesting.
0745 ABC News is essential listening for me, as it has been for years.
It is all political the 0745 bulletin removal, all cuts that the ABC has done themselves since during Ruddās time have all been high profile, noticeable cuts.
Donāt they realise that pollies, five PMs worth are not changing their ideas?
New legislation is needed to direct the ABC to cut their execs and managers who donāt directly contribute to program output.
Too many chiefs and the indians (staff) pay for it.
Probably not a good idea for an analogy.
Iād say an illegal strike would be called for, but what would I know.
Thereās only so much you can cut executive pay though. When it comes to cuts, itās not the quick fix solution many (not aimed at you) who propose it think it is
Astle said this morning that he would host 774 breakfast for the next two weeks, with Brian Nankervis filling in on evenings for the next three weeks.
