Looking on the CASA aircraft register for some of the old helicopters rego’s (VH-TCN and VH-HSV) they show up as belonging to Heli Support at Camden so they must be the outsource provider the TV are using. Those machines would have camera mounts in them but it would be interesting to find out if its BYO links if you want a live cross.
Monday (5.9.2022): Clint Stanaway is presenting sport in Melbourne tonight.
ABC, 7, and 9 all share costs on an outsourced helicopter.
ABC were late at joining after their previous sub-contract deal fell apart.
Sky gets pictures through their content sharing deal with 7 and 9, rather than contributing to helicopter cost.
10 don’t have an option to buy, they steal the vision from off air and claim it is fair use.
Camera equipment all owned by the networks.
It has been this way in all cities for probably five years. Nothing new.
Does that mean there’s only one reporter in Darwin now? Amy Clements and Tahlia Sarv have both left too.
Jack’s a great addition for Nine Perth.
Their current team is…
Kathleen Gazzola
Georgie Dickerson
Olivana Lathouris
Jack is yet to be replaced.
Kinda reminds me of when Hitch and Jo Hall presented together (events like 9/11, new millennium etc.)
Peter Overton is presenting Friday 6pm in Sydney. Georgie was presenting the rolling coverage earlier
Great combo, these two!
They should pair them during the week, especially as Pete edges towards retirement
Stephanie Anderson again presenting weather in Melbourne this weekend.
Peter Overton presenting Saturday bulletin at 4pm in Sydney. Georgies voiceover was used by mistake then got corrected to Pete’s
Amber is presenting weather, not sure if there was weather yesterday
Saturday (10.9.2022): Andrew Lofthouse and Melissa Downes are presenting in Brisbane tonight.
Peter Overton is presenting in Sydney like last night.
Peter Hitchener is NOT on tonight, with Alicia presenting solo.
Georgie Gardner presenting 9News in Sydney tonight. Peter is off to London for QE2’s funeral coverage.
I suspect Mark Burrows will be presenting this weekend (if he’s still in Sydney), as Georgie is going to London too.
Or Peter Overton will present from London?
That’s a first in Sydney.
Rare but it isn’t a first. Jim Waley on location and Mark Ferguson in Sydney comes to mind.
