Sad. So sheâs the Brisbane casualty from this flawed idea to cut staff in removing the 0745 bulletin?
Used up a heap of leave on an o/s hol last year or earlier.
Shelley Lloyd is for me the voice of ABC Radio news in Queensland - what a loss.
And maybe, outside of Gerry Collins or Quentin Hull, was the the most well known voice on 4QR.
And now Victoriaâs turn.
Iâm still not seeing how this saves money. Someone still has to read the rest of the morningâs bulletins.
Last day for Shelly Lloyd - ABC Brisbane/Queensland
Is it just me and my radio nerd-ness, or is her radio tuned to 4KQ not 4QR?
Shelly was given a send off this morning, though the âhighlightsâ package while ok for a radio newsreader was a bit lacklustre.
Her last read coincided with the final 7:45 am ABC news bulletin as well.
This promo for ABC Brisbane breakfast is running multiple times a day on ABC TV, seemingly in every break between programs. It also seems to be going to air in regional Queensland where they are pointless.
Note - strange radio pres-sets for Brisbane car radio.
Not really pointless for regional Qld as ABC Brisbane 612 is on digital TV throughout Queensland I believe.
Indeed, âChannel 25 on your digital TVâ as the announcers say ad nauseam.
ABC has the ability to show different content to regional stations and previously they have not broadcast promos for Brisbane regionally. This TVC does not mention using digital TV to listen. It is all about waking up in Brisbane to the ABC breakfast show.
ABC Gippsland named Victorian Media Outlet of the Year for its bushfire coverage
ABC Gippsland has been named Media Outlet of the Year at the Victorian Rural Press Club awards for its bushfire coverage.
The judges said: âABC Gippslandâs entry showed just why local radio is so important. The 2020 fire season will be remembered as brutal and long.
âAs an emergency broadcaster, ABC Gippslandâs constant reporting throughout the long campaign provided information that helped maintain community safety under extreme conditions.
âTheir journalists showed a deep commitment to providing news on all available platforms, a great example of modern reporting.â
Gippsland reporter Riordan Davis was named Young Journalist of the Year.
âDavis possesses all the attributes of an outstanding journalist, with their reporting monitoring power, influence and big business through their investigative piece of seismic testing,â the judges said.
âThey provided a diverse range of informative content about matters of importance, proving they were in tune to elements which made great reporting, such as timeliness, exclusivity, prominence, relevance and scale.â

Youâre lucky youâre not in Melbourne / Victoria where the Virginia Trioli âThese Boots Are Made For Walkingâ promo is on endlessly. You want to throw something at the TV. Itâs an old one too⌠been playing for nearly a year⌠with her wandering around Southbank with no mask and fist bumping people.
Nothing against her. But ABC radio really needs to do more than one TV promo if theyâre going to be on a such ridiculously high number of playings per day.
It might not mention using digital TV to listen, but people are actually watching the promo on a digital TV⌠Many of them will join the dots. If ABC has the ability to put different content onto regional then I assume itâs a deliberate move to promote the Brisbane breakfast show in the regions.
I think it is either laziness or not enough resources to bother with the regional feed. Surely ABC would want its audience tuning in to their local stations.
If Iâm not mistaken, ABC-TV did used to have separate âcapital cityâ and âregionalâ feeds for the main channel but these ended a while ago (probably due to budget cuts) in favour of one feed across the entire state/territory.
While I wouldnât necessarily agree with this (Iâm sure some generic âYour local ABC Radio stationâ promos could be played instead), it wouldnât be hard to imagine âWell capital city ABC radio is available via digital TV, so thatâs a good enough excuse to have the promos run everywhereâ being the reason why they air capital city ABC Radio promos on TV across the entire state/territory.
In a state as decentralised as Queensland youâd think ABC could find something other than its Brisbane breakfast show to promote across the state. The number of promos is quite excessive. What about RN or ABC Classic or ABC News ABCâs radio news service in general or focus more on the App rather than an afterthought at the end of the promo.
Yes ABC TV did indeed have separate regional and metropolitan feeds, that was mainly for cricket telecasts in which the ABC shown on their regional channels. It also goes back to the days when they had regional news at 6.55pm. In Victoria they had a separate Gippsland feed for their own regional news. Also in the days before Saturday morning programmes each ABC station had their own local callsign test pattern. These feeds presumably ended when ABC TV cricket telecasts ended in December 1991.
There is/was a separate regional feed with digital television. In the recent past when there was a advert for ABC 612 Brisbane shown on ABQ 2 the regional stations would get a different promo.
The regional stations still have a different transport stream ID on their multiplex compared to Brisbane.
