Best/worst sets in Australia? 🤔

Thought this might be an interesting point of discussion, especially as 7QLD just received a new set.

What would you rank the best and worst sets in Australia?

  • Only counting current sets in use, so these lists can change over time
  • Can include news/breakfast/morning/sports sets etc
  • List as many as you want

My lists are focused around news.

5 Best

  1. ABC News Sydney (best)
  2. 10 News First Sydney
  3. 9 News Melbourne/Adelaide
  4. 9 News Perth
  5. 7 News Sydney

5 Worst

  1. 7 News Perth (worst by far)
  2. 10 News First Adelaide / WIN News / 9 News Darwin (basically green-screen single shot)
  3. 7 Regional NSW / WA
  4. 10 News First Queensland
  5. NBN News

As for consistency of news sets across the country, 9 and ABC take the cake.
Interested to hear your thoughts!

For me (number 1 being the absolute worst):

  1. 7 News Perth
  2. 9 News Darwin
  3. 7 News Regional WA
  4. WIN News
  5. 10 News First Adelaide

I’m breaking up 7WA/WIN/10Adl based on the backdrop, variety of camera shots and also, tbh, the vibe

The 9 News Darwin backdrop is just awful

It 's so interesting, I think 10 Sydney is very underwhelming compared to others. Yet there is so much love for it.

Both Gold Coast closet-sized sets leave a lot to be desired.

7’s Gold Coast set was great until they plonked that oversized desk in it.

ABC News Sydney is now my current favourite. Absolutely fantastic looking set.

Extremely close with my love for the 10 News First Sydney set :joy:. I’ll be interested to see what changes they make to the flooring over Summer and whether they fix up some aging parts of it.

Funny how ABC went from one of my least favourites to #1.

Should that be classed as an additional set since the original Sydney set at Ultimo is still in use (and maybe labelled as ABC News Western Sydney/Parramatta)?
