Particularly noting that Seven and Ten news bulletins in Melbourne are relayed to the Northern Territory, and Nine (whose Brisbane news i think goes to NT?) also no longer has a reporter based there (apparently they are working to remedy this).
Do noodle updates still get made for Seven Darwin and Central by SCA? Although as MW points out, Seven’s takeover of SCA’s NT assets makes no commitment to coverage of local news, only of its commitment to advertisers.
Several people killed in Austrian school shooting, authorities say - ABC News
EDIT: 10 with Late News coverage Instagram
Air India plane crashes at Ahmedabad airport. It made the 7pm ABC News. More than 200 on-board.
Live coverage from India has vision of crash and aftermath.
9 & 7 News sent a notification about the crash through their apps
Mike Amor mentioned the plane crash at the end of 7News Melbourne this evening.
Footage from the big fire was also shown on ABC 7pm news in Victoria.
10 made a post via socials about it for what its worth.
Was all over on X after 7pm. Boeing in strife now. The 787 had an impeccable safety record for 14 years
Not good after the Max crisis, will be interesting how Boeing responds. I’m not a huge fan of the 787 always preferred Airbus 330 over it, but didn’t see this coming from a long shot knowing how technically advance this aircraft is.
Various outlets saying there is one survivor; including video and boarding pass. However, it is very difficult these days to trust reports because there are several obvious fake videos circulating as well. Some media in INdia have generated AI videos of the crash.

Amazingly the early reports of the sole survivor turned out to be correct. All the slightly dubious looking claims that were on social media were correct. Of course various outlets had experts discussing the tragedy. Most Australia reporting was from London, the plane’s destination.
Really significant breaking news in Middle East. Sounds like Israel has bombed Iran. Israel has now shut its airspace.
Never seen that full-width breaking news strap before, except for on election night. Did it animate?
Yes it’s a great set. Currently, one of the best in Australia.
Trump’s parade is quite easily taking the backseat among US broadcasters, it turns out (except FNC, obviously):
Over the course of the three-hour event, which was held to celebrate the Army’s 250th birthday — it happened to be Mr. Trump’s 79th birthday, too — Fox News did not air footage of the “No King” rallies that were taking place simultaneously in many cities in protest of the administration’s policies.
For updates, viewers could turn to CNN and MSNBC, which toggled between the parade and Saturday’s other significant news events, including rocket attacks in the Middle East and the assassination of a Democratic politician in Minnesota.
The country’s three biggest TV networks did not carry the parade or Mr. Trump’s prime-time remarks live on their affiliates, citing prior commitments. When the president spoke, CBS aired a rerun of the comic procedural “Elsbeth,” NBC had the game show “Password,” and ABC was carrying the championship game of the United Football League. (All three networks did cover the parade on their 24-hour digital streaming channels.)
