Good to see. For all the crap Ten gets given, when a big story breaks they handle it well IMO

The interview with the concert goer was really good and Iā€™m surprised they manage to get her for an interview. Iā€™m liking Jonoā€™s take on the area, talking us through the layout of the venue and the location of it in the city.

Coverage on 7 likely to roll until The Chase.

Interestingly enough, apparently the BBC News coverage on TV didnā€™t take that presser.

26

Can confirm they didnā€™t, their coverage has been lacking tbh.

27

Correct- it wasnā€™t shown on the feed that SBS was using.

Excellent coverage from commercial networks so far.
Ariana Grande has just tweeted, more than five hours after the explosion. She is OK. This is what she wrote:

Nine moving on to other news and doing an impromptu trial of dual presenters:

Something of note: Nineā€™s EPG is referring to this as Nineā€™s Morning News and is set to continue until 3pm when News Now starts.

The man who is pictured (donā€™t know him) did a phone interview with a CT expert, and threw back to Peter afterwards, who was at the same desk.

I havenā€™t been watching the coverage but Iā€™m pretty sure that guy is Nick McCallum, reporter and occasional fill-in presenter on Seven News Melbourne.

Technically the ABC has gone to Question Time, where Malcolm and Bill have given their speeches/response to the incident.
