I notice background lighting is darker than usual.
And the quality of the studio output is anything but HD too.

At least Victoria has had the opportunity to see some 7pm ABC News bulletins in HD.
Even though we’ve already got our new set, New South Wales is still patiently waiting for ABC News HD!

Interesting that QLD came from WA for one day last week too.
I wonder what they are doing in each of the states?
NT has been heavily promoting the return of Amy Culpitt and Eleni Roussos
I’m suspecting they are returning this Monday or sometime next week?

Adelaide also came from Perth a few weeks ago.
Is NSW the only state that does the standing intro?
The set for NSW is great.
News Breakfast and other states need this look.
But the lighting is so bad

It looks like the ACT Bulletin is the latest one to come out of Perth(?) due to work on the local set … the bulletin looked different tonight with the background slightly different and no wideshot to end the bulletin like they normally do:
And last night Dan Bourchier read the bulletin when he normally only does Monday - Thursday. Presumably as Craig was on the way to WA.

Do we reckon that ABC News will go HD on the same day in all states/territories (except Victoria which already has it of course) or is it going to be a gradual process?

I would say at the same time, one station is doing a shutdown every 1-2 weeks until they are all HD ready, and then they will play-out in HD at once.
News 24 didn’t produce from Sydney for 3 days because of it.

One perk about ABC is that all stations other than Sydney have almost identical sets at the moment, so most viewers don’t notice a difference at all. They can still show the pre-recorded “sky-cam” too.

If what you’re saying is true, then I expect ABC News (channel) to go MPEG4 HD?
