Fictional News Bulletins In Films & TV

For the lack of a better thread, a “Oz Sport” cover-up from one of the Kath & Kim episodes that Nine replayed last night:

Of course, Kath & Kim has been known to make many references to real life TV programs (with one episode during the 2007 Seven series being set around Sharon & Kim going on Deal Or No Deal) including quick scenes of actual TV content on screens. From the same episode as the cap above…glimpses of TVSN, a VFL match on the ABC (I think), Bananas In Pyjamas and E! News Live:

Not only for the graphics, but the content too. A brilliant parody/at times terrifyingly accurate portrayal of what network free to air news has become in Australia.

Another one I’m surprised hasn’t been mentioned in this thread: Former Nine/Ten/Sky News presenter John Mangos has presented mock news segments for just about every Paul Fenech comedy program/movie (Fat Pizza, Swift & Shift Couriers, Housos, etc.) ever!

I’m guessing we’d have no idea if this is from a real episode of GMA or not.
