Federal Election 2016 Media Coverage

  1. I’m surprised that ch 7 got Shock jock Alan Jones on the panel despite the sounds of his past opinions of politics/politicians

  2. Does anyone else think about ch9 coverage is an evening version of TODAY?

Seven goes to commercial break at approx 9pm in Queensland despite claiming to be “commercial free until result is known”.

I think that Nine’s predictions are more accurate, but that’s just my opinion.

Nine also goes to commercial break.

Haha - what’s with the site being hijacked by random website redirects?

I haven’t seen this many simultaneous satellite feeds for a while. On D2 alone, there’s eight feeds going at the moment:

  • 12323 MHz - Wyatt Roy, Liberal, Caboolture
  • 12536 MHz - Liberal, Tasmania
  • 12545 MHz - Tanya Plibersek
  • 12556 MHz - Linda Burney, Barton, Labor
  • 12574 MHz - Greens, Melbourne?
  • 12583 MHz - Tony Abbott, Warringah, Liberal
  • 12609 MHz - Labor
  • 12681 MHz - Two Sky News reporters, Labor

Tanya Plibersek grilled on Nine this evening.

And she schooled Vanderstone.




I find the idea of “The Crusher” on Nine’s coverage quite hilarious! :joy:

Seven’s graphics are fucking awful. The dystopia future of graphics… Seriously their old 2013 look was way nicer, despite being awful as well.

Interested that earlier Amanda V on Nine had criticised this type of “trivialising of the electorate’s decision” (or something like that). She even specifically mentioned a couple of Nine’s previous stunts including the sharks.

I wonder how much money 9 (and Seven) got from running a Sepc Saver (advet plus a couple of others). Hardly seems worth it especially when one spot was taken up by a promo - For 9 it was 20 to One, For Seven it was news.

The Main Game? A new game show?
That looks appalling.
