Or a bigger studio
Posting here because Geoff Maurice is listed as supervising producer in the 9News Canberra bureau. though X profile says 10 Producer.
For 40yrs, Geoff Maurice has been a backroom giant of Australian TV news. It was his intros that Brian Henderson read in the glory days of @9NewsAUS. Always mad for accuracy, clarity and fairness, he heads this week to a well-earned retirement 👏 @10NewsFirst pic.twitter.com/MOw1VPoH9K

Geoff is universally known as “Killer” - an ironic acknowledgement that in all the decades, no-one ever saw him lose his temper.

It is a pleasure to have worked with you over 30 years, Killer. Safe and rewarding travels from here… 🙏🏻

Wonder if they will do the reporting outside while the storm rages over, similar to some of the sensationalist cyclone reporting of the past.

Paul Burt is there for Seven so that would be a certainty if the cyclone gets anywhere near him. If it doesn’t he’ll probably just stand in the ocean and report on big swells

That’s revolting and insensitive!
“Stalking”, “monster”, “hit zone”… “you won’t miss a thing”… this has to be a new low.

It’s the exclamation mark on this for me, honestly who approves this shit going to air.

I’m not so worried about the punctuation. More the catastrophising of the event with such emotive language.

Oh absolutely, cannot agree more.
I was really just referring to “you won’t miss a thing” which in the right context (probably more spoken than written) could be better articulated but would probably be okay, however they have a habit of adding similar punctuation for topics where it’s obviously highly inappropriate.

Going down the WSVN way of doing “news”
Bloody disgraceful.

Brisbane and QLD seem to be the only markets that have Christmas trees on their sets though the December month. Melbourne and Sydney seem to only do this on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Any reason why?
