I think this one from Carols In The Domain can fit in here?
With some obvious tweaks, that style of super would probably make a better look for the Opening Headlines than what Seven News actually uses on-air IMO!

I know these are still sometimes a thing. What’s the difference between a News Update and a News Flash?

I’m pretty sure a News Flash is something that would interrupt regular programming, as opposed to a News Update which mostly seem to be scheduled events during ad breaks.

From the movie ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul.’
Note that despite it being ‘Only on 5’ the microphone has a 6 on it!
Plus a short scene from The Simpsons episode, ‘Krusty gets Kancelled.’

Informer 3838 Part 2 featured Peter Hitchener reading a news story in the background. Had the Channel 9 watermark in the corner but graphics were nothing like Nine’s. Don’t have any caps sorry.

It was meant to be 2004 yes?
Did Peter look younger?
