The weather conditions eventually got the better of Paul Burt and he had to take shelter. They eventually cut the feed as the power lines on the street started swaying!

I thought that the Today & Sunrise Special Edition has finished?

I think in the instance of rolling coverage, the policy at Nine is any morning coverage will be Today-branded and anything post-midday in the most relevant timezone (not AEDT or whatever Luke was saying) will roll into Nine News.

Why isn’t national coverage coming from Nine Sydney with someone like Deborah Knight?

I much prefer Seven’s (and others) in that regard.

I think in these situations, a national perspective with nationally well known faces is better. I don’t know who Melissa Downs is, never even seen her present before. I’d imagine of all TV viewers, there is probably a larger audience still watching in Sydney & Melbourne?

Just a thought.

Uh, because the cyclone is impacting Queensland?

Your ignorance aside, the people of Queensland know who Melissa Downes is, and I’m sure they’d rather hear it from her than someone down south.

NTD???

Channel 7 really need to invest in another desk that can fit more than one person.

I actually thought 7’s coverage has been pretty dull and lacklustre. Ended up enjoying Nine most of the time. 10 wasn’t too bad as well.

Same reason it isn’t coming from Melbourne. [quote=“LukeMovieMan, post:162, topic:2764”]

But I thought having local experience on a matter would be helpful? I doubt Peter Overton or Peter Mitchell would know very much about North Queensland, considering they talk about their own states.[quote=“LukeMovieMan, post:162, topic:2764”]

The coverage is relevant to a larger portion of the audience in Queensland by infinite.[quote=“LukeMovieMan, post:162, topic:2764”]
