Even better still, have they not heard of Bluetooth ear pieces?

not used in the industry

you’re introducing a point of failure with anything wireless and potentially a source of interference.

They obviously have a wireless receiver in their back pocket, I can’t imagine that there is a cable running all the way out the back of the studio.

That must be using a radio frequency rather than Bluetooth and can’t be designed to be any smaller to make them more discreet.

Studio 10 uses wireless earpieces. They’ve mentioned them on air a few times

radio mics operate at a higher frequency… and I know quite a few studios that still use wired mics.

I’m not saying they can’t be used (don’t know anywhere where that could’ve been inferred) … but it is a potential weakness.

It’s clear they’re trying to push the weather segment more, Jane Bunn is killing it on the other channel. :wink:

Yes- she kills me. It is so hard to watch Jane’s weather- I really don’t like her presentation style. It is condescending but placid. Odd.

I really like that weather graphic for GTV though- Melbourne’s four seasons in one day. Eventually, they will do the whole segment from that megawall, I think. Good on them for taking steps to improve their bulletin now- even if they are incremental. :+1:

Well Seven obviously think differently because she signed a new three year deal with Seven in December last year.

Nine can’t be too concerned about the “news war” in Melbourne spreading to Sydney when they give free plugs to the enemy during the Sunday night bulletin.

At least they’re disclosing paid spots now. Any improvement is good improvement lmao

Why on Earth do they keep saying “SMS your name etc” instead of “text your name etc”?

When was the last time you heard someone say “I’m going to SMS someone”?

Probably can’t accept RCS messages. Lol, I kid.

because there are some people out there who are - let’s just say - ancient, that can’t grasp the different sorts of technology available. My folks included. They would see that ad, try and ring and give their names to the “operator”

I usually hear it from the kinds of people that still religiously watch the 6pm news.

I’ve seen similar comments on social media too.
Lots of comments of people saying they can’t stand Jane Bunn because she speaks as if she’s talking to a child.
