Seven’s rolling coverage

Nine in Sydney ended coverage at 3pm AEDT and went to tipping point, still continuing in qld

I assume NBN is still taking cyclone and flood coverage?

No - Tipping Point for NBN viewers.

Usher is certainly an impressive presenter, but always find it interesting when they fly in out-of-town presenters to present flood coverage which is really intended for locals - but can go out to a national audience.

Not often that QLD presenters are seen hosting news nationally but good for Nine and 10 using their local talent this time.

Why does that 10 cap look much better picture quality than the local news. Is the lighting & control rooms different?
