General News Events - Coverage Discussion

One important factor to consider is the gap until then. Is the story small enough that it can ride out that gap?

Nine has answered no to that question.

If it seems a bit unfamiliar, it’s okay. Probably the first time it has been used in Australian television. (America has had a couple of those for awhile.)

Yes it is. If you’re a 9 viewer, seeing a few words on the screen doesn’t give you the story, you’re not going to get that til the next news. If that’s the late news in an hour fine, if that’s the early news at 5am it’ll be there when you wakeup.

No it isn’t.

There crawler was accompanied by a news update - both of which were essentially promos for the Late News.

The crawler was across a segment that included phone camera amatuer footage that, if you weren’t paying attention to the program, might have looked like coverage from the event.

Update that followed

That was 26 days ago and he resigns today.

As of 6.45pm AEDT, domestic channels have shown no interest in any other news.

Sky UK has a brief report and covered his subsequent speech live.

ABC had it topping The World’s rundown.

The fact that Trump’s name has been thrown around as a result of recent developments has made one channel very interested.

The event will commence 8pm AEDT. No idea if any other channel is having the same interest.

What are we supposed to covering?

The Nobel Peace Prize winner announcement.

It wounded up not being given to Trump, to the surprise of hardly anyone.

ABC had a quick report about 64 minutes later due to Planet America at the announced hour.

Meanwhile the aforementioned BFM ended up writing the most idiotic super possible: “No Nobel Peace Prize for Donald Trump”.

I assume, non of our local networks will have coverage of the Trump-Albanese meeting until the breakfast programming.

NBC News has a live blog about it on the top of the website.

ABC is obviously deep in nachtprogram, and Sky UK (which at this time of night = Sky AU) is currently juggling about 5 or 6 other breaking British stories so they probably won’t get to this for an hour or so.

I assume you are talking 7/9/10.

Currently hardly any new developments now because the meeting isn’t televised.

Best to wait until 5am when there will be takeaways. Maybe a subsequent news conference.

Although in true FTA style, it will probably only be live in AEDT states and delayed elsewhere.

As expected - opening story across breakfast TV.

Sunrise was the first breakfast program with the royal news this morning at 6:06am. They probably also had the most reports and crosses to London and experts.

ABC News was a minute later, reading out the annoucement.

Today at 6:19am; 60 Minutes also has a story on Sunday that may need updating.

A roundup of the Korean broadcasters’ OB huts for the APEC meeting in Gyeongju last week. (The other) SBS seems to be closest to the venue, JTBC the furthest:

Story is now rolling across the board for the rest of the night.






None of the US Big 4 networks have gone rolling yet (waiting for 7 Eastern?) and the ABC News Channel aren’t covering yet either.

Remember, this is coming up in 14 hours, but now will be effectively overshadowed.

Tomorrow morning’s rundowns will be revised to 70/30 mix at best.

Safe to say we’re off to the night loop.

The big 4 have started coverage at 7. NBC at least still promoting other stories in their intro, so probably not going to be rolling, which I suppose is to be expected as he was only VICE president.

Just gone back to check the start of the ABC 11PM bulletin, no mention on ticker nor screen, so story broke too late.
