I almost thought they’d show Mark Ferguson reading a news story in the studio to give a small plug to Seven News Sydney! But from memory there was just someone voicing over the report about the tourist fighting for life.

What a find 
Who knew Mount Thomas had its own regional television station.

Pretty sure the studios were based in St Davids. All the good stuff was in St Davids!

A feature length fictional bulletin…
Special Bulletin (1983) - A perfectly typical broadcast evening on a major network is interrupted by a shocking special news bulletin. Anchorman John Woodley (Ed Flanders) and his partner, Susan Myles (Kathryn Walker), reveal that terrorists have threatened to detonate an H-bomb off of the coast of South Carolina if the Navy refuses to agree to their demands – the disarmament of a key nuclear weapons facility. Soon, the local team covering the story in Charleston is taken hostage and becomes the terrorists’ mouthpiece.

Special Bulletin is very well made, right down to the news graphics and ‘technical difficulties’ throughout the movie. So much so, they had to keep putting up disclaimers that it was entirely fictitious in case of any confusion.

I found this one on-line recently. A Star Trek fan film, setting up some events in 2013.
Sadly the ‘third season’ never came to fruition it seems.

Something similar… Without Warning from CBS in 1994.
Without Warning is an American CBS TV movie, directed by Robert Iscove, featuring veteran news anchor Sander Vanocur and reporter Bree Walker as themselves covering a breaking news story of three meteor fragments crashing into the Earth’s Northern Hemisphere. The film, which premiered on Halloween night, October 31, 1994, is presented as if it were an actual breaking news event, complete with remote reports from reporters. The executive producer was David L. Wolper, who produced a number of mockumentary-style films from the 1960s onward.
Disclaimers that it was a fictional bulletin were all over the bulletin, at the start, end & during the film.

Deleted a string of posts that were off topic.
My apologies, and as I said I was happy to move it to the Random Thread.
I don’t think it fits there either.
Good point - well anyone can PM me if they want to discuss
