I really wish they stopped carrying breaking news supers into other stories.
It must be confusing as fuck for someone tuning in to have supers talking about at fatal car accident but the vision/story is the Sydney to Hobart or something else.

KARINA CARVALHO TAKES NATIONAL ABC ROLE
Karina Carvalho, one of the ABC’s most talented presenters, is moving to a new national role in 2018.
After five years successfully leading ABC TV’s flagship 7pm News bulletin in Queensland, Carvalho will relocate to Sydney to take up a prime-time presenting post for the ABC NEWS Channel.
Her final Queensland bulletin is this Thursday, 11 January. From Monday 29 January she will anchor ABC NEWS Channel every weeknight from 7pm-9pm.
“It’s been a privilege to be invited into the living rooms of Queenslanders each weeknight for the last five years,” Carvalho said.
“I’m very much looking forward to my new role and bringing the day’s most important stories and breaking news to a national audience.”
Louisa Rebgetz will step in as Queensland newsreader until Carvalho’s successor takes over the anchor’s chair.
More details on ABC NEWS Channel’s 2018 line-up will be unveiled shortly, also including two new programs hosted by Stan Grant and Patricia Karvelas.
Carvalho joined the ABC in 2007 after working for the BBC. After a stint as a reporter in the Perth newsroom, she presented the 7pm News in Perth for three-and-a-half years before moving to Melbourne to present ABC News Breakfast alongside Michael Rowland. She took over as Queensland 7pm News presenter in April 2013.

Matter of Fact with Stan Grant
9:00pm AEDT from Monday to Thursday
In a world awash with bogus news, dubious sources and noisy opinions, Stan Grant brings Australian audiences the essential context they need to separate facts from fiction on the important issues of the day.
Starting Monday 29 January, Matter of Fact will air nationally 9:00pm-9:45pm AEDT from Monday to Thursday on ABC NEWS, Australia’s leading 24-hour news channel, and on iview.
In every program, Grant, an award-winning journalist, author and commentator, will take a deep dive into a major story. The program will also feature regular contributors covering the economy, technology, history, music and the arts.
Grant says:
“Matter of Fact is interested in ideas – what people know more than what they think. I want to have fun talking to smart people about big things.
“There is too much opinion for opinion’s sake, too much public debate that is just about who can shout the longest or loudest.
“Australians are smart people who are tapped into the world. Matter of Fact will respect that intelligence, not just stoke more anger. If you think you know something, then think again – that’s what I want this show to be about.”
Matter of Fact This Week, showcasing the best conversations of the week, will air on ABC NEWS every Saturday at 9:15pm.
Wow sounds interesting. A bit like old Lateline!
Won’t the Monday episode of Matter of Fact overlap with Q&A in some states due to time difference?
News Channel seems to be broken. No actual news at 2:00pm (EDT). Just endless fillers which have continued for the last 25 minutes. Clock in corner comes and goes. And no news ticker either. Just an emergency warning repeating constantly (which they do anyway).

Working again.
Hopefully it’ll be axed and off the air by the time Q&A returns…
