Hearing serious doubts there’ll be a Newshub bulletin tonight at 6, due to technical issues. No Prime News tonight and Magic Talk radio off air.
Newshub Live at 4:30pm is currently airing in the 6pm slot.
The Project will air live(and early) at the completion of the 4:30 replay.
Part of 4:30 will play 6 News team will do a short throw and weather update then project on air at 6:30
Short stint from Sam and Mike. Alex doing weather as normal. Looks like Sam and Mike are sitting on the other desk. Looks good!
Here is what happened at the end of the replay of the Newshub Live at 4:30pm bulletin at 6pm.
You know what… I prefer the shorter news bulletin at 6pm, then The Project at 6:30pm. Should make this permanent!
Network outage? No failover servers? No redundancy path for network traffic? Very strange. There wasn’t a digger outside the building today, was there?
According to Leah Panapa yes!
It was the main network and then the backup network took time to boot back up but it kept iNews and some other essential services offline for some reason being investigated, the news team worked through the entire 4:30 replay incase any systems came online and allowed a scaled back brodcast to go to air but were unable to. So we could only provide a replay and updated weather as that came from a separate system and cameras were hard cut before handing over to the project who’s gear was affected also but to a lesser degree also their show had more already cut and produced elements.
