If only they had a show like The Project to screen it in.

Didn’t realise Naomi Robson’s summer fill-in is now working for CBS, thought she left Seven for an asia posting 16 years ago

Don’t need her whole resume listed. I mean she read the news on Today On Saturday occasionally to.

I believe it was her longest tenure so it needs a mention. But fine.

One of the major problems with foreign ownership is it prioritizes the foreign owner’s home country or assets. It’s a reason for why foreign companies can’t own broadcasters in Canada like they do in Australia, the UK or New Zealand.

I doubt this was the reason CBS nabbed the interview

of course

Seems like the ABC and 10 got given a feed of the interview, while Seven and Nine recorded it off-air from their LA bureaus.

It’s more complicated than that.

The ABC cap, based on the different watermark, is still from the “trailer” released Sunday.

Seven got the semi-dirty feed without the ticker. Nine got the dirty one.

ABC still using the YouTube version that everyone did the day before, while 7 and 9 were wise enough to record the full version ex LA bureaus overnight.

More likely the case was the offer of money.

10 News with a cleaner version of the interview.

10 has access to the full CBS News library so don’t know why they didn’t take it.

I’m guessing they would’ve aired it in full on News + if it was on air but alas another missed opportunity.

Do they have access to it instantly? Do they have access same day as a world exclusive in the home market of 10? I suspect CBS wanted a bit of branding out of it and didn’t hand it over freely to 10.

I’m guessing it will air on 10 News+ on Monday but you’re right, it’s a missed opportunity. This is why it shouldn’t go “on holidays”.

Or at the least bring it back for a special presentation.

I’d say they didn’t want US networks to get the opportunity to use a feed without CBS on it (which the 10 version would have).
