ABC News Presenters and Reporters

I wonder how the new ABC News look will compare to 7, 9 and Ten and even its Counterparts here in NZ.

They’ve removed that tweet from the page. Hmm…:confused:

But they have retweeted Michael Rowland

They did repost the picture again with the correction of name with it saying ‘News Breakfast’, but I can’t seem to load that picture at the moment either. :confused:

Since they are keeping the same set my concern is that they really need to change the backgrounds and the side panels.

That’s one of my concerns as well, as I think it’d look out of place with the new look, but I’d imagine there would be some set changes. We’ll just have to wait and see.

I really hate the backgrounds, is that a screen or is it physical. If they change that, it could be a nice set

What are they rehearsing for if the set, backdrops, camera angles etc are identical?

Obviously they’re rehearsing the new jokes that Michael promised!

Perhaps set changes will happen overnight after the last 8pm ABC News24 Bulletin with the current look. I’d imagine they might happen during the night so it’s ready for News Breakfast, but that’s just a prediction.

I like your optimism, but the sets visible on the screens haven’t changed.

Well since that’s the case at the moment, if there aren’t any minor set changes to suit elements of the new look, at least they won’t clash as bad as the 2005 sets using the 2010 graphics back when News24 launched as @SydneyCityTV has stated a few times before, but I’d be surprised if they don’t change the sky backdrop or the glass window screen skyline graphic come tomorrow.

I’d personally be very surprised if the parts of the set which reflect the current/soon to be old “sliding panel” graphics aren’t changed for tomorrow, especially with the multipurpose sets in Sydney and Melbourne which have been designed for multiple bulletins/programs in mind.

Another thing I’d be surprised about if they didn’t change, would be the backlit desk with the blue light, as I think that would clash a bit with the black and white, or any other palette we’ll see tomorrow.

Isn’t there meant to be an element of sky blue with these new graphics? If so, I wouldn’t be surprised if the blue lighting is kept. Maybe a slightly lighter shade of blue, but that’s about it really.

The biggest mystery is what a discussion of the set for ABC Breakfast has to do with the topic of ABC News :thinking: I suppose we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out :slight_smile:

Anyone recording the Perth Bulletin?

You could just view it on iview in average quality.

This is just a quick random small prediction, but I think when the titlecard animates, the classic ABC logo will form with the wraparound animation like on the Channel. Ok, glad I finally got that out, now back to regular discussion. And to all…

MERRY RELAUNCH DAY!! :smile::smiley::stuck_out_tongue::sunglasses::+1::tada::confetti_ball::tv:
