Floating globe tonight.
Regarding the news theme, composer Lalo Schifrin has died.
That’s such sad news. Did he compose the original track from Cool Hand Luke or one of the variants made for Nine?
It does get knocked for being a bit old, but something about the violins etc oozes authority to me and it stands the test of time.
He composed the original film score of Cool Hand Luke, amongst other works like the main theme of the Mission: Impossible TV series (the basis for the movie theme).
Did Nine acknowledge it in any bulletins?
It’s almost like 9 & 7 are trying to 1-up 10 News+ lately
The picture speaks for itself.
It’s just like in the old days of slides in the background.
I can remember the days when commercials used stills/slides and the end of a show promo finished with a slide (a sketch, name of show, and broadcast time). This was on regional tv.
Special afternoon bulletin 9News Melbourne is showing in Sydney with Brett McLeod (Erin Patterson verdict)
At 4:13pm local time back to Sydney with Mark Burrows
The first EIGHT minutes of tonight’s Sydney bulletin was devoted to the Origin decider.
Mike Dalton was in Temora at the local bowlo which had the bulletin on the TV in the background .
And the Countdown clock got a workout too.
You mean it hasn’t since 5.30am this morning?
