More extended coverage from Nine tonight and Wednesday.
No the pregame is live on 7plus currently, but this would just have been a typo.
This just looks so amatuer!
Whatâs the point of the inset? Is Nine expecting the Queen to rise and give a little wave to mourners. Coverage is really becoming ridiculous.
itâs regional television. Never going to be as polished as a metropolitan bulletin. The reporter probably doesnât have the luxury of a camera operator and instead having to set up the camera themselves and hope for the best?
I reckon they could loosen up the dress code now so that not everyone needs to be in black such as weather presenters at the beach.
This morning.
ABC:
How to watch/listen Queen Elizabeth IIâs funeral in Australia?
The Queenâs funeral will take place at Londonâs Westminster Abbey and if youâre wondering how to watch the funeral of our late monarch in Australia, ABC NEWS will be broadcasting the funeral live on 19 September 2022 from 8pm AEST on ABC TV and ABC iview. You can also tune into ABC NewsRadio to listen to the funeral live from the ABC listen app.
No surprises from ABC.
Coverage of events like this almost feels like a no-win situation for broadcasters (although they probably donât help themselves) - people are complaining that the current coverage is over the top and unnecessary, but if it were to be trimmed back people would complain that itâs not enough.
Iâm surprised that theyâve continued to lean into it heavily post Saturday night, despite the ratings showing that people may not be that interested and I really dont understand the need to (or the value gained from) send a significant contingent of on-air âtalentâ to London to cover it either and shows that quality and credibility in reporting is achievable by simply having the network darling standing in a marquee outside of a backdrop.
Maybe there is an obligation in their license that they have to even as a mark of respect?
Today now using âremembering Queen Elizabethâ like Sunrise.
ABCâs schedule for next Monday shows coverage of the funeral from 7:30pm to 3:25 am
Itâs going to be a long night.
I donât get it, either. I caught SBS news last night and it led the bulletin with correspondent reports to wrap up the major developments from the past 24 hours and really thatâs all that was needed. No need to squeeze out every last detail or look for any tenuous link for an interview or have a newsreader reading autocue from outside Buckingham Palace.
I very much doubt that
Itâll be a long broadcast according to advance guides. Going to be one of the most watched television events ever. First state funeral in the UK since that of Sir Winston Churchill. Last Royal Funeral was for George VI in February 1952 with TV only 4 years away.
And will they and other networks drop all on-screen branding please as per normal protocols for state funerals. Is very tacky to see network bugs/watermarks etc on such coverage.
Sorry I mean more so the coverage of the death (as a PSA not rolling coverage), wearing the black clothes and the telecast of the funeral.
The black clothes are likely more a respect thing I wouldnât say itâs âlawâ or anything like that.
But the telecast of the funeral I would imagine they are obligated to cover in some sense.
Michael Usher is now in London.
Iâm not aware of any TV protocols for state funerals as such. And certainly not for ones held overseas.
The most recent one for Shane Warne had watermarks and graphics. It is likely however that there will be extended periods with no ads.
God so much for savings. 7 are essentially setting up a local network over in the Uk. Ridiculous
ABCâs coverage of the Funeral is 7.30pm - 3.25am. Wow, that will be a long night indeed.
Curiously, what time does the actual funeral start? Is it 8pm? And after the funeral, would there be talk from the ABC hosts of what we saw during the night? Hence the long coverage?
