They might be trying to emulate the BBC, who have News at TEN as their top rating news programme, whilst also running BBC News. More likely they are filling a gap made by Lateline. Presumably, they’d be having dedicated reporters filing for the program, and some live crosses/interviews.

They run the BBC News at Ten on the News Channel as well as BBC One.

That’s what I meant. Basically it’s probably going to be a late bulletin with special reports. The Lateline reporters will probably work on this.
They do the same at 5pm with Early Edition airing alongside a News 24 (sorry “ABC News Channel”) bulletin.
Two quite different offerings that cater to two quite different parts of the markets.

ABC News: Early Edition has been renamed ABC News at Five. Much better name!

I agree.
Even though I get it was a reference to being a pre-7pm bulletin, ABC News: Early Edition sounded too much like the name of a 5am or 5.30am pre-Breakfast bulletin.

finally!
Yes, if 5pm is considered “Early Edition”, then I tremble to think what the ABC might call Nine’s 3pm bulletin!

I wonder again what is the point of ABC having a live news channel then programming a news bulletin in competition with it that is delayed into three states.
