It’s the same screen that they’ve been using since the new set launched according to iView.
Did look like there were a few technical/camera glitches tonight in Victoria though.

You might be refering to the News Channel one or the NSW Set. But Victoria has a weather wall. (Used for News Breakfast, The World/The World This Week & 7pm news)

Why does ABC News go until 7.42pm?

Always goes long on Sundays, it was their excuse for killing Stateline/Local 7.30

I’d say to time out to 8.30, with the 7.30 show running 48 minutes plus ads…
Does 7:30 run on Sundays?
Something else is on right now.
No.

The ABC revealed this morning that its news website had been updated to make it easier to change the homepage edition to the reader’s home state or territory.

Quite convenient though that Karina was doing the national bulletin. At least she’s familiar with the Queensland audience.

Any thoughts as to what position would be so crucial that if they were ill, would cause bulletin to not go to air?
Strange that the information provided was from Jenny Woodward rather than Matt Wordsworth.

It could of been the autocue operator, director, producer or even the executive producer. A lot of people are needed to bring the 7pm news on air.

For 7pm News, ABC have an autocue operator, director and news producer (typically a journo from the newsroom) in the control room.
Everything else is automatic for them. This could be different in each state/territory however.
I would say the director would’ve been absent. Autocue is simple and basically everyone in the station is trained or has done it before.

That’s the risk you take with operating at the ragged edge of efficiency.
