Sick, problem is when would they use it during normal programming? Wonder why they have it at all.

They also have a one without the text on the LHS which is used quite often in the evening.

“Normal programming”, I meant regularly. Obviously it’s a great breakdown slide option, but like during breaks they play ads so it’s not like it could be their loop.

they wouldn’t use a breakdown slide during normal programming.

That’s what I’m saying. Do they use this loop normally at all? It looks quite good.

Not consulting the BBC schedule then.

It clearly did state that NN was going to run for 45 minutes.

Not that it matters anyway, we are only 3 hours away from resumption of normalcy.

On the ABC iView livestream. The description says as follows; Due to industrial action ABC News will not air today. We sincerely apologise for the interruption in service. For the latest news visit ABC News online at abc.net.au/news

So many things wrong there

1. ABC News programming is returning at 12.30 today, as stated on the ticker
2. The ABC made the ABC News section the home page now. Thus making that link.. also wrong

And they got the hybrid 2021-2024 & 2025-2026 Ticker hybrid.. as well as some parts of the current ticker slipping in

Ticker is usually inserted by the ABC before it gets sent out to MediaHub, perhaps the ABC didn’t give MH the full suite of templates?

No idea what is being described as the ticker still looked like this then.

that looks like a coverup more than a ticker, or MediaHub didn’t render it properly because you can see the lines where it’d be cut out
