One wonders if Amber Sherlock managed to see that while walking back into the TCN newsroom which likely had one of the screens running QTQ and their version of Nine News?
Anyway, itâs time for the latest instalment of the increasingly regular âTCN reporters filing content from Northern NSW which probably should be the responsibility of NBNâ series with Kelly Fedor at Coffs Harbour Courthouse:
Worse would have been her seeing Wendy and Melissa both wearing red on the 6pm preview in the Afternoon News. Then, when she switched over to 10 Brisbane, Georgina (the anchor) and a reporter both wore red. Gasp!!
While paying close attention to the background of live crosses to the TCN news exchange during the 6pm news in the past, Iâve seen what appear to be feeds of the Melbourne, Brisbane & Canberra bulletins on some of the screens.
Yeah, it wouldâve been one of the screens on which would be used to monitor upcoming feeds and (also during news time) rival networks.
Admittedly I donât know how exactly what channels would be displayed on the larger screens at any one time these days since itâs been quite a while since we last saw them on-air. But Iâm fairly sure itâd be the industry standard for networks to at least have access to feeds of their own stations from other markets. Eg, TCN newsroom having access to GTV, QTQ, etc.
not necessarily, the actual studio outputs arent sent between the news departments. it goes from the studio to presentation, itâd be incidental that TCN have access to it⌠where they could watch QTQ news if the operator wanted toâŚ
Youâd be surprised. When I did work experience at one of the commercial networks, it was usually in error if the Sydney studio feed popped up internally. The only interstate content we got was the other stations exchanging clean feeds of stories.
Fiveaa absolutely wanted a noon slot to fill Cornesyâs podcast-broadcast place and I suspect Nine wouldnât have been able to air it to television - they have nationally syndicated programs.
Question is, couldnât they have just gotten Alan Hickey for an extra half-hour?
Iâm sure Melbournians wouldâve absolutely loved seeing the resignation of the NSW Opposition Leader as the nightâs top news storyâŚNOT!
Surely cutting to one of the regional editions produced at GTV (presuming that there werenât any technical difficulties with those) wouldâve been a more logical back-up?
Exactly! Of very little interest south of the border.
Seven should cream Nine in Melbourne tonight.
Just had an acknowledgement from the Sydney newsreader that Melbourne viewers are watching. Better than the ABC can ever do when a similar thing happens!
