I believe so, though when I walked past it was before 8:00am in the morning.
I also went past it on my previous visit to Adelaide in December 2021, and the curtains were indeed closed which suggests that they do so when the 6:00pm news is on so as to not let the light get into the studio and/or the presenters get distracted (if that makes sense).

Looks like a decent chunk of ABC Ultimo has been leased.
ABC moving parts to Parramatta is still a dumb fuck move.
“Connecting with Western Sydney audiences” is a absolute wank. They’ve blown tax payers money and they know it.
Mt Wilson TV and radio transmissions threatened.
Similar situation could impact Australian facilities in the case of bushfires.
The Eaton Fire, which ravaged Altadena, is encroaching on Mt. Wilson, whose peak houses a number of broadcast towers. The L.A.-based NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox and PBS stations all have transmitters atop the mountain, as does KTLA and Univision’s KMEX.
In addition, a slew of FM radio stations transmit from the top of Mt. Wilson, including stalwarts like KCBS 93.1 and KIIS 102.7.
relatively few consumers get their TV signal from a broadcast antenna, with most accessing the networks via cable, satellite or streaming options, which would not be impacted.
It has happened before. Mt Wandera was damaged in the Black Summer fires a few years back.
Think Mt Lofty way back in the early 80s copped some damage too.
Anyone have news on HSV7 move?
From memory it was happening soon.
Hasn’t been named that since they left South Melbourne.
April I believe.
And the ABC facility at Mount Tassie, serving Gippsland VIC was wiped out about a decade ago.
Well this is media spy and a lot still refer to as HSV7.
Most people in LA will get by without broadcast TV because most have it delivered by cable. However, it has a big driving culture where broadcast radio is relied on; though there are plenty of other stations to choose from.
Though i wonder if any cable providers just retransmit the off air feed? So might be impacted too?
Multiple sources have reported that cable is not impacted by the outage.
That being said, relatively few consumers get their TV signal from a broadcast antenna, with most accessing the networks via cable, satellite or streaming options, which would not be impacted
Update
While the station lost its signal transmission, digital streams of its morning newscasts were provided directly to cable and satellite TV operators, Disney-owned Hulu Live TV and other streaming apps.
If you watch ABC7 over the air and you lost our signal, good news: we are back on!
Correct - the local ABC services were wiped out in that awful fire which led to a local community station agreeing to broadcast ABC Radio and it’s emergency warnings while the main signal was down.
Can’t remember if all or only some TV was impacted, but it definitely took a lot of services off air for some time.
Sure was! The whole facility was destroyed. Not sure if SBS was in that building, but ABC took a long time to get back on the air. It had a temporary arrangement with WIN (I think) to use one of its multichannels to broadcast the main ABC channel.
That’s right. Didn’t the ABC facilities burn down but the old GLV8 tower mostly survive? I remembered the commercial services fared better but couldn’t remember how much better.
A truly horrible time for so many people that day was
