Just noticed MSNOW election promo using the exact theme of ABC News Australia election coverage. Couldn’t believe it.

Clip?

And this is why the ABC shouldn’t cheap out and use generic library music.

Why not? Who cares if a piece of music they used in a promo in Australia a while ago is later used in a promo seeing in America.

Why does Sydney have two sets?

1 for the news channel and 1 as a backup

Which was the main 7pm set before moving to Parramatta.

Seems like they’ve updated the desk and floor?

Looks like it!

It is me, or does the desk need to be a little deeper to balance its height? With the scale of the set it looks like a bar bench or a bookcase more than a desk

Part of the efforts to seem less Sydney centric was to double the amount of space they occupy in Sydney.

I know. It’s ridiculous.

Currently there are 3 News studios in Sydney plus the 7.30 studio.

Maybe they’ll launch a NSW centric news channel to free the rest of us :joy:

Why can’t they sit down? Both look like bad reception desks at a hotel.

Those desks are designed for standing

And that’s just what they’ll do

Simon Robinson commenced his new role as the ABC’s news boss this morning.

The ABC’s news managers – and their troops – were placed on high alert on Friday afternoon that Robinson would be roaming through the building with the ABC’s head of regional, rural and metro news (as if that leaves anything else), Donna Field.

“(They’ll be) starting at News Channel and meandering around down to Planet (America),” ABC News executive manager Jodi Fleming informed the Ultimo’s newsroom bosses via email. “Please share with your teams.”
