COVID-19: News Coverage 😷

I can’t remember the last time I saw the Today Show (or any commercial network for that matter) air a press conference for more than an hour!

I notice every station which aired the press conference also showed the lady using sign language on the bottom left of the screen. Did they share the same cameramen?

Sunrise has finished at around 10.11am AEDT.
WA went to local news, and elsewhere went to The Morning Show.

EDIT: Today has finished at 10.10am AEDT. Went to ad break then Today Extra.

I don’t see Michael being an issue, I think he’s a great presenter and trusted when I visit Perth. The team do a wonderful job.

It wouldn’t surprise me if many things are POOLED from here on out.

It was the same feed for all networks - see the image didn’t quite fill the screen on all channels (top left)

No - all were eventually live. Studio 10 was already live and showed the conference from the start - Nine and Seven interrupted their delayed programs to broadcast live. ABC was only live on LCN 24 - main channel was delayed.

Example: Seven - with time 9:10 even though it was 8:10 in Brisbane

Nine with no time
