@mirb yes Nate does present the weather on ABC News Mornings .

12PM AEDT bulletin is coming from another studio (looks like Sydney 7pm news studio)

They have a promo for the rebrand

Surely that’s not the new logo?

I’m 99% sure that the new logo for ABC News will include the classic “lissajous” logo (which has been reintroduced elsewhere on ABC TV and radio in recent years) as well as the new “oneABC” typeface.

There are plenty of other things to look forward to, all will be revealed next Monday! :wink:

These are the new logos announced back in early November, accompanied with the much talked about ‘oneABC’ font:

I’d imagine they’re leaving the logo surprise for viewers till Monday. :slight_smile:

Ah, I remember now. I like them better than currently, but I need to wait and see how they look when they are implemented into the graphics.

So once again the ABC are copying the BBC.
When ABC News 24 launched the BBC’s domestic news channel was called BBC News 24, it was later renamed BBC News, how many years ago now?

Shame the ABC News graphics presentation hasn’t been as good as the BBC’s (I dislike the fonts & variable size white blocky background the ABC have been using). Hopefully the new graphics package will be better, and I hope they keep the supers’ animation to a minimum (more animation is generally a bad thing not good, best left to the more sensationalist commercials).

So since there’s already an “ABC News” thread, I guess when the rebrand happens this thread should be renamed “ABC News channel”?

This is what he should be doing, what he is good at, instead of that lame Friday program.

He is a good reporter. Decently agree. Goes to see him being utilitized though.

Stan Grant’s 7.30 show The Link is pre-empted tonight by the extended one hour 7pm News so ABC are getting their money’s worth.

Extended bulletins through to 1am AEST tonight covering events in Syria. Times like this where they should just run BBC World News and Al Jazeera right through the night instead of breaking it up for 7:30 repeats.

Original live coverage until 1am and then 7.30 repeats at 2.30am… ridiculous!

There’s another version of the rebrand promo

How was there a 7.30 repeat last night when an hour long national bulletin aired?

So ABC News 24 will be referred to ABC News or ABC News channel?
