Listening to ABC local radio on 106.1 Fm and the feed has cut out so just a blank carrier. Note - that 612 is off the air.
Edit back after a couple of minute and 612 AM is now back on air simultaneously - must have been associated. 792 RN and 963 News Radio also back.
A bit poor that 10 are airing delayed news into Qld tonight, given what they’ve done all week to date to keep people up to date and given all the flooding now etc.
Could’ve gone live in Qld at 4pm with the regular national bulletin and done another straight afterwards.
7Brisbane presenting coverage from 4.00pm
Your official emergency broadcaster is now off the air. Thanks for listening. You’re now on your own.
/sarcasm
From 4.30: Katrina Blowers presenting
Think Taylor Ryan may be the only journalist I’ve seen use a umbrella the last few days 
(I realise one would be no help with the wind etc)
10 live in QLD at 4pm or on delay?
Delayed, regular schedule in Qld at the moment. Delayed news again with The Project.
Pretty poor IMO. What’s the point of going live all those days, extra coverage etc when you give up before it’s even over?
The lack of overall coverage on the weekend from most of the networks has looked a bit poor IMO, especially given Seven and Nine were going from 4am local time until late in the night in the lead-up. Now that the system is moving over the region, they’ve reduced their coverage for some reason. ABC as well dropping the ball with choosing to air the WA election coverage on the NC instead of continuing coverage (surely most people who wanted to watch the WA election could’ve watched it on iView or YouTube).
Dead pixel?
It seems like they all planned their schedules and rolling coverage around the original forecasts and didn’t really adapt when the forecast changed.
I’m surprised they didn’t have contingency plans to postpone or extend coverage when the longer BoM technical analysis had been saying for many days that there was a high chance the system would stall and slow down.
7 still promoting Sunrise during Australian Idol as “live into Queensland” so I’m presuming it starts at 4.30 AEST tomorrow?
Lots of reporting on the cyclone on overseas media.
7 News for some reason has posted this in relation to Alfred on all of their regional QLD Facebook pages for places over 1000 km away from the impacts.
A lot of confused people in the comments wondering why schools are closed tomorrow
Are they trying to worry families in places like Mackay and Cairns? Or is this the start of what is to be a transition over to a future where these viewers will be served by a Brisbane bulletin just like Darwin?
The schools in areas outside of SE Queensland/Far North Coast NSW will not be closed. This seems to be the beginning of the end for 7NEWS Regional QLD. Are they beginning to go statewide or something? If not, seems a bit odd to post something like that on a page dedicated to local news for one specific area.
