Exec 1: “We’re having a pretty good day today, I wonder how we can fuck it up?”

Hopefully it’s a temporary absense from air (it seems to be a gross overreaction; as others have said we don’t know if there have been other issues which haven’t been broadcast, but I think it would be unfair to assume there have been).

The ABC has now commented regarding reported demotion of Exelby. you can read the full story here - https://decidertv.com/page/2017/4/10/abc-responds-to-reported-demotion-of-newsreader-natasha-exelby-natashaexelby

But here is the quote - ""Natasha Exelby is a casual contributor, not a staff member. She has been booked for occasional on-air shifts when needed, and also does other occasional shifts for the ABC News channel.
Contributors work out their shifts with managers on a per needs basis. Details of individuals’ shifts are confidential to them and not something we make public comment on.”

Ticker looks hideous in that cap…

These graphics are so… basic?

The openers are a mess. I actually didn’t realise that they are showing the day and date in them and top stories, they slide through too fast

Must have contracted out this latest rebrand to the PRIME News department!!

Could have walked around in MediaHub and someone from WIN would have told them that sticking with old news graphics isn’t necessarily a bad thing

Even Bill Shorten has weighed in on the Exelby dumping!

Thanks for all the caps!
Just wondering why there is a white rectangle at the top of all of them? Just noticed its been on all of your uploads :slight_smile:

You lost me there; as if anyone should listen to the lot inflicting huge solid logos on regional viewers.

No problem. :slight_smile:

Messaged you about it. :slight_smile:

To be fair I’m not suggesting ABC would bring on something as horrendous as mappy … although in the last few hours it anything goes at Aunty’s!

I’m going to guess they are capping from a live stream with full screen enabled and their browser throwing up a message of ‘mash these buttons to exit full screen’

Did Sky design the graphic for The Business? Revolting. The haphazard implementation of this graphics package really diminishes what has been done well.

Crazy error in judgement considering Media Watch were the ones responsible for tweeting it / the clip going viral… I assumed they may have been just trying to create buzz but obviously not!

I wonder why the LCN name hasn’t changed yet? It still says ABC News 24 on my TV.

To avoid confusion, would be my guess for the ABC’s reasoning.

But it’s rather unusual though, they were rather quick to change the LCN name when the ABC1 > ABC and ABC3 > ABC ME branding changes happened.

The Freeview EPG has the name updated (though Viceland HD hasn’t been added yet).
