And The Pub Quiz is better this year with better editing in the sections where they are writing down the answers. Perfect show for New Year’s Eve.

I am giving the fireworks a miss this year.

Wow, they’re at it before the actual main event has been put on air!

It should be noted that the article says: And once again their coverage fell flat with some viewers.

That’s “some” viewers. Big whoop! Any networks screening it would have “some” critics and they did in the past.

By printing the tweets of random knockers they forget to mention/correct the tweets from idiots who say the City of Sydney “awards” the coverage to the ABC. The fact is, it goes out to a tender. The other networks don’t even want to to do the coverage any more.

Happy New Year, everyone!

It’s absolutely pathetic and lazy journalism, but probably to be expected from News Corp really.

And yeah, I’m pretty sure that the City Of Sydney actually produces the coverage.

The Closing Credits on the coverage just said it was an ABC “Original” production.

Every time I went to check out ABC’s evening they seemed to be running promos or adverts of some sort and it was the same ones each time.

That’s the one!

Yeah, the promos were incredibly annoying. I guess they needed to fill in the time.

Now they’ve got a very reasonable selection of music playing on Rage. Good stuff.

I would think that anything with this watermark is produced by City of Sydney. The rest is ABC Original.

At least the promos were all in HD as well

ABC’s New Year’s Eve coverage divides viewers

Happy New Year to everyone at Media Spy.

Well the Watermark in the lower Right was certainly also present on all international broadcasts I’ve seen:
