There is this one for the special forces medal controversy, which if I heard correctly also investigated alleged war crimes by Ben Robert-Smith
https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/special-forces-medals-controversy/16362
Can we possibly get a thread to discuss Anzac Day coverage 2026.
it’s going to be quite a different year.
- 9 has GC service
- 7 not sure
- ABC assume local
- 10 not sure
Plus the war in the Middle East will make coverage interesting
Would also like to know what radio stations do around Australia
Just an idea

Happy to have one but don’t think we need it open as yet. I can create one to open closer to the day and if there’s anything that needs posting before then someone can DM staff

See:
10 will not do anything. At least I expect them to not do anything, in line with every other year bar 2023 dawn service.

No worries.
Programming adjustments on some channels due to the event:
- BBC: “Artemis II - Crew Returns to Earth” - 8.30am-10.30am (due to simulcast timing, the splashdown will also be seen on BBC1 domestically)
- Sky: Special program using the overall “Moon Mission” branding - 7.00am onwards
- CNN: “Mission to the Moon: Artemis II Returns” - 9.00am-1.00pm
- ABC US: “Artemis II: Coming Home” - 9.30am-10.30am
- NBC: Special report - 10.00am-10.30am
- Sunrise and Today extended to 10.30am and 11.00am respectively (live AEST)

Good to see them splashdown safely,
Glad that Seven’s Sunrise ticker being briefly removed to show the footage in full.

Seeing that they’ve not taken a call on-air so far*, probably all call attempts went straight to voicemail.
*First one taken at 8.30pm US ET.
CBS should really shut down this feed soon.
Sunrise finishes coverage 10:30am. Today breaks for other news at 10:36am (with live window). ABC News breaks for other news at 10:40 am with live window.
