Typical Nine Queensland, trying to make a fearful story
2 Likes
Pretty bad that they didn’t use the live shot as the background this afternoon. Or have a wet weather version. Kind of gives it away that it’s fake when it’s been torrential rain All day and yet there isn’t a cloud in sight.
Great caps.
Old fashioned grammar from Nine, “rooves” hasn’t been common usage for years, it’s generally “roofs” these days.

A good night for Nine News, ACA and 60 Minutes at the Walkleys.

The winner of best news report was from Nine News Brisbane and despite all the criticism of the bulletin two of the three stories nominated for that award were from Brisbane, the third was from Amelia Adams in the US. Anticipating promos to roll out soon.

Multiple warning relating to the flood emergency were issued Friday night but none made it to air on TV in Queensland that I saw. That includes Nine’s late bulletin that did not have any coverage of the floods at all. The first was this before 6.30pm on Nine this morning - probably using a template that Nine uses for thunderstorm warnings.

Thanks - I’ll record and post it here.
Nine the only network carrying any weather warnings this afternoon. Not sure how useful they are, but it’s better than nothing.
Seen twice in the last hour with different messages and regions.

A thunderstorm warning sponsored by Energex?
There have been no new warnings since 4.30 but 9 have already played the warning with the Energex sponsorship twice in 15 mins during Muriel’s Wedding.
Update: they’re still playing them at 10.45pm.

There is a broad warning for torrential rain and flooding.
Energex sponsor it presumably because as a measure to remind people to stay away from fallen powerlines after storms.
My point is that the warning isn’t new. It’s already been reported in their 5pm and 6pm bulletins. Scrolling across the screen is just sensationalist… and looks like (and no doubt is) an ad with the Energex logo.
And so important that they’re still running it during the 11pm movie, yet the Qld floods were not even mentioned on the Late News.
But then again, is it catering to people who might not have seen the 5/6pm bulletins? It’s probably better that they air the warning than not.

Anyone living in Brisbane would be pretty stupid to not realise there is a weather warning. It’s been pouring since Friday. If they’re “out and about” and missed it on tv, they would’ve seen it first hand on the streets.
Then why have weather warnings ever lol.
Could just replace it with a graphic saying “look out the window, champ”.
