Seeing as News Breakfast is live into the NT & QLD + Today live into QLD tomorrow, plus pressers figure this seems like an adequate thread to have made. Anyone know if Sunrise is going live AEST tomorrow?
They will not. Even their promo for the cyclone indicates as such.
Start time not given verbally or visually.

News Breakfast and Today live into QLD. Sunrise coverage was therefore slightly behind - reporting on a category 5 cyclone when the others had it down to category 4.

They were not live to Queensland. It impacted the regionals so they couldn’t give any less care than that.
I realise that hence

Listening to ABC local radio in Far Nth Qld. It’s so good. Compelling. Such an important service for our community.

Despite the EPG saying 9News Morning would run for 90 minutes.
They couldn’t even agree on what to call this hour. Should have gone with the alternate title instead.

Does it really matter? It is a 90 minute morning news bulletin. What’s the issue?
9News Morning is a 30-minute national bulletin. It was then followed by a 60-minute local special.
The EPG says the former would run 90 minutes, implying that the presenter would stay back and do a Queensland-only hour.
Who cares? It’s still an 90 minute news in the slot. Picking on such minor things.

Comprehensive coverage by Nine this morning - live from 4am - 11am then 1 hour local news with the main 6pm anchors. Seven left behind today. It won’t help them close the gap to Nine at 6pm. Seems uncharacteristic of Seven - are budgets tight? Just one reporter all morning from FNQ.
lol no.

Any word on weather there’ll be emergency coverage on ABC Radio in NT?
Just checked ABC Darwin’s schedule - no indication.
Theoretically, even if they persist with carrying the entire AFL tripleheader, the window to provide rolling coverage would still be about four hours before landfall - 9pm to 1am.
Whether they actually do that remains to be seen.
Never heard Cairns pronounced this way before 
“Cairns, Australia, that’s in the Northern Territory”.
