I’d love to see it happen but I think TCN would be more likely to take the Melbourne bulletin in the event of a catastrophic failure.

Oops. Social media missed the memo!

I thought you were pulling our legs rather than receiving the signal(s) from Knights Hill!

If Brisbane has control room problems, I wonder what that will mean for the regional bulletin.

Yes, as they have done momentarily in the past, and the same with Sydney 6pm news into Melbourne.
But it is usually only required for a few minutes until technical difficulties are sorted out.
Sounds like Melissa has to anchor the whole bulletin from Townsville. Through the TCN control room.

Back to Brisbane
It’s the news room shot usually seen when Gold Coast news crosses to Brisbane at about 5:55 weeknights for an update.

Mosart strikes again?
A (what i think it’s a new thing, I don’t remember it being there last year) that I’m not liking about Nine News is the 30 second “weather report countdown” at around 6:55 that is in a gutteeboxed section where the main visual and audio component is an ad.
Seems like a sneaky move by Nine to have a paid ad masquerading as program content.

You know, that shot doesn’t look half bad. Might work well if there were local morning bulletins and possibly even the afternoon bulletin.

I think that segment was there at the end of last year.
But yeah, I really don’t like that one either. Also misleading, as there’s usually the Finance/Fuel segment (and often an RVO) before the forecast!

Weather report was very SEQ centric.
Melissa was still talking as the bulletin abruptly finished.
The technical team did a wonderful job given the problems they must have faced; apart from not using the main studio, the delivery was flawless.

Haha, still can’t believe that my crappy rabbit ears could pick up such a clear signal from Wollongong!!
I’ll just go back to the 7 News threads where I belong and stop bothering you all over here now!

Simply overcomplicating a bulletin will have troubles if not mosed properly haha!
