Not sure how widely it’s been discussed beyond when it was mentioned 7 Melb journalists were manning SCA news bulletins but…
For the past few weeks at least in Perth, the 6pm 7News team rostered on have been providing the news/sport/weather. Noticed Alicia and other SCA news staff have probably been made redundant/dropped off beyond I guess the Brekky shift?
Both Hit and MMM have a seven news branded opener, Triple M keeping their newer news bed, Hit has a weird mix of the 7 News theme with a generic radio bed. The sport/weather stings remain the previous network branded ones.
Clunky execution with each presenter introducing themselves after the sting and “…with your 7 Sport/Weather news”
Sort of SevCA’s anwer to the Nine Radio era but with more redundancy. Assuming the ‘bulletins’ are just prerecorded once an arvo with the other 7 News updates for radio/TV during the day.
Seems like radio news journos are no longer viable in the newer network models, whole newsrooms that used to exist basically don’t anymore.
