Where’s this?? What studio??

News Channel studio - Studio 27 at the Ultimo building.

Oh okay. Thought they moved to Parramatta Square??

That’s only the NSW 7pm news - all other programs that come from Sydney are still done at Ultimo, at least in the short term.

To my memory, and to add to everyone else’s comments, I don’t recall that backdrop being used when they introduced the first set in 2013-2014-ish, but maybe they should go with something Parramatta Square-style and just use an idealised version of the Sturt/Southbank intersection as a backdrop instead :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Southbank will have a great view of the new NGV contemporary gallery in a couple of years.

It looks like NSW 7PM is coming from the NC set.

Correct - Monday and Friday’s NSW bulletins also came from the NC set.

NC bulletins are coming from the old NSW set tonight.

Probably not worth powering up another studio over the festive period when they will be on Skeleton staff.

They’ve done it the past two nights - while NSW bulletin uses the NC studio, bulletins for the NC come from the old NSW Set for a few hours.

Night and day different… let me say that.

I’ll save you the click: “I’ve given up on the ABC,” he told The Australian.”

Coverage from Townsville in QLD tonight

Laura Lavelle reading with Alexandria Utting in Townville and Jacqui McLaren on weather.

‘Stateline Queensland’ branded report airing in SA. You’d think they’d atleast remove the watermark.

Only 2 South Australian packages in the bulletin too, one regional and one colour piece.

Yep. You certainly don’t go to the ABC for local news.
