But they don’t take Perth. Go figure.

Trying to make a continuous 2.5-hour news block?

Most likely - I guess the ABC thinks viewers would prefer live content over the same programs on repeat to fill time.

But then again apart from breaking news situations like tonight I doubt the NC get’s many viewers on weekend evenings to begin with.

I assume thats because they already have a live bulletin airing at the same time.

Likewise, not taking the Queensland bulletin at 8pm AEDT.

I think it’s great they’re showing bulletins from Around the country. Would you rather live news than replays?

I do wonder though how they replaced to handle this breaking news out of Venezuela.

This got dumped. Now broadcasting national bulletin from Sydney.

They’re not rolling with this story even during their self-produced bulletins anyway, so the story mix doesn’t seem off to casual viewers.

Update above: They’re rolling now.

They flew him to Sydney for that? Why couldn’t Tom do the weather. He’s a much better presenter

Yeah, flying him out of the emergency area? Weird.

Was bad enough yesterday being wholly Sydney based - would’ve been better for Southbank to take over a couple of hours of anchoring in the afternoon. If this was happening in QLD they would’ve flown Joe over by now.
