Frequent announcements are being made on ABC Classic this afternoon advising how people can still listen to the station after it was announced it would become a simulcast of 612 in Brisbane at 3pm.
As the national emergency broadcaster, the ABC has made this decision to ensure local audiences can access relevant emergency information on both AM and FM frequencies, and it will serve as an additional redundancy should either frequency experience an outage.
As mentioned
That’s now switched over, Classic FM finished a song and hard switch over to the 612 feed.
At 3.00pm Qld/ 4.00pm AEDT, other states went to 7 Afternoon News .
And fatigue.
It’s going to be many long days for the local reporters and presenters in the coming days.
On 10, “Deal Or No Deal” repeat at 6pm tonight OUT. 90 minute “The Project: Cyclone Special” scheduled.
I’m sure viewers are going to flock to get their latest updates from Rove McManus.
Either dump him tonight and get Hamish and Sarah in or don’t bother with The Project at all.
Wonder if Seven could use Docklands again to co-ordinate some coverage, with Mike Amor, Karina Carvelho and Rebecca Maddern (all with national identities) all on site there? Like they did last night with the special bulletin.
It should be hunker down, not bunker down. And cyclone, not cylone!
Goodbye ABC Classic Brisbane on 106.1 FM, here’s the switch to ABC Radio Brisbane.
ABC Local Radio (except Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, and NSW North Coast) will broadcast special editions of Australia All Over and AM this Sunday, according to online guides.
I think either is ok:
Hunker down:
to make yourself comfortable in a place or situation, or to prepare to stay in a place or position for a long time, usually in order to achieve something or for protection
Bunker down:
taking protective action against something
you may not know the answer to this but is it only to ABC Classic (FM) in Brisbane or regional Queensland and NNSW sites as well?
Only Brisbane.
10 News Sydney in semi generic mode tonight, going into Queensland between 4 and 5, I assume.
@TV.Cynic I notice from the screenshots that the font and time on the clock changes suddenly between the “6:41” picture and the “5:54” picture.
Did the bulletin air in QLD for nearly an hour with the AEDT time in the corner?
Might have been a very faint signal knowing it’s coming from 370km away and the Tropo is not very good at the moment, ABC Mid North Coast on 95.5 (Middle Brother) is currently airing Cyclone Information instead of TGIF.
The ABC serving it’s important purpose as an Emergency Broadcaster.
I assume NRL Coverage will not be on tonight between Middle Brother and Wide Bay. Hopefully everyone will stay safe from this massive storm.
Just got home and whacked on 10… were they going out nationally? Sandra said that’s where we leave the national coverage and local news at 5 and after the break in Sydney then listed the stories.
The Sydney news was shown in Brisbane at 4pm then Brisbane went to B and B at 4.30pm.
