Great idea! They should have done this ages ago.

Great coverage on 9news, well done James Wilson!

Agree. I switched between 7’s and 9’s rolling coverage this morning, and 9’s coverage left 7 for dead. Incredible access and pictures from 9 in such a raw moment.

Even though he had to report on the story, it was nice to see that he was able to celebrate with the extended family.
A wholesome moment here: 
I notice Nine used Seven’s vision just this once. This is noting that Seven seemed to be piggybacking on Nine’s coverage, as @EntertainingAus seems to mention.

The helicopter vision was shared between Nine and Seven but otherwise Seven had their own vision.
Nine and 10 shared a significant amount of vision. When that happened Nine’s reporting had no mic flag.
10 also had their own vision.

It’s the mullet for me.
But in all seriousness, James did a brilliant job today - he’s going places.

What happened with the news sources today. Did all the networks pool as all that footage and network reporters aired on all main networks in the main bulletins.
Did 10 show 9’s coverage live, with the 9 anchor?
Wow, with anchor vision? And was the reporter supered and introduced as 'Nine’s"…?

Why? 10 had a reporter there. Why were they airing others’ coverage.
No. 10 anchored their own coverage from Studio 10.
10’s reporter was only via audio at the start of the 10’s coverage, later they have a vision link set up.

Sevens Tom Hartley.
Gosh it doesn’t look like him in that cap
Pretty bad look on 10 when they need to use Nine’s James Wilson for their coverage.
Also I saw the moment that James took off the 9News branded mic and placed it into the bushes. He probably got word that they needed to share the coverage.
When James was on 10’s did you hear Mark? And also James mentions “Mark” several times so 10 viewers would be a little confused.

I was watching Studio 10 and they had the vision but didn’t use the sound. I figured it was from another network and switched channels to Nine and heard the matching sound.

During the 5pm News, 10 just used footage that featured Wilson prominently. No audio. They had their reporter on the scene for a cross though.
Also, can’t see 9 wanting to disguise their presence, re. the mic flag.

Here’s the moment a camera man from another network (possibly 10) told James to “share the vision”. Second screenshot shows James pushing the Nine branded mic into the bushes!

Nine News broadcasted for almost 2 hours live at the scene, and caught the reaction of the family hearing the news that they found AJ.
Here’s the first 25 minutes on YouTube, while the full live coverage is available on 9News Facebook page.
