Why do Nine need such a MASSIVE font?
The CBS one is probably the best of all the graphics (but I would have left the photo out of it):

It is great that they used Deb. But I am surprised that they didn’t get Perth to do the coverage, so they could keep going whilst the news was on the east.

Seven added an extra camera angle of Donald Trump watching the service. It lasted for 30 seconds or so.

Probably made the justification for using the world feed better?

ACA “back after the break” with the funeral: are they going to run live through to the end now?

Nope turns out it was the usual fake coming up then into the movie.

ACA discussion over live pictures, finishing at 7:36.

May I say how poor the Vatican News supplied coverage that is being shown heard on 7 (for most of it), 9 and ABC (some of the time) is. Microphones that sound like the 1980s with an American and Italian narrator. Plus audio syncing issues, some interesting shot choices, and seemingly a slight obsession over Trump. I’m genuinely surprised it hasn’t been brought up yet.

It’s actually the Associated Press supplying the feed

Deb Knight pre-record just closed Nine’s coverage

Channel Nine commentary was ridiculous at times.

At one point saying Francis’s coffin was about to be placed on the altar…

Seriously, did anyone read the order of service beforehand or been to a funeral before?
